Excerpt from The Secrets of Angling, Teaching the Choicest Tooles, Baits and Seasons, for the Taking of Any Fish, in Pond and River, Vol. 1 of 3: Practised and Familiarly Opened in Three Books
In the first edition of Izaak Walton's Complete Angler, the author of the following Poem was designated by the abridged name of Io. Da., which in a subsequent edition was lengthened to Davors. The real author, however, as will be seen in the following extract from the Books of the Stationer's Company, was John Dennys, Esquire.
"1612. 23° Martij."
Mr. Rog. Jackson entred for his copie under th'ands of Mr. Mason and Mr. Warden Hooper a Book called the Secrete of Angling, teaching the choysest tooles, bates, & seasons for the taking of any fish in Pond or River, practised and opened in three bookes, by Iohn Dennys, Esquire."
It needs not to be added that the first edition of the Work, a copy of which is preserved in the Bodleian Library at Oxford, appeared immediately after, with the date of 1613.
