This copy of a classic work belonged to Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, a keen angler. After some preliminary chapters on tackle and trolling come two sections: 'Bottom and Float Fishing (with chapters on float-fishing for barbel, tench and other species) and 'Fly-fishing'. This edition was published in the same year as the second edition, which had been very well received, and the author added further material including new engravings.
