Excerpt from An Older Form of the Treatyse of Fysshynge Wyth an Angle
The differences between the treatise as given in this ms. And as printed in the Book of St. Albans, are more important than the above statements would lead us to believe. They extend not only to the orthography but equally to the phrase, and in very many places to the Sense also. That it is an independent text cannot be doubted, and in this opinion we are supported by the high authority of the Rev. Professor Skeat, who is inclined to assign it an earlier date than 1450. Though probably an older form of the treatise printed at Westminster in 1496, it is drawn from the same original, which, wherever it first came from, was at that time written in our language. The close correspondence in many pas sages forbids the idea that the two versions were independent translations from another tongue. Originally from the French it may have been.

Excerpt from An Older Form of the Treatyse of Fysshynge Wyth an Angle
This tract is printed from a manuscript written on five sheets of paper folded in quarto form. The leaves have been slightly cut and now measure seven and a half inches by five and a half. The paper is water-marked with a hand or glove, to the middle finger of which a six pointed star is attached by a short line. Each page contains from 22 to 25 lines closely written in a correspondence hand of the earlier half of the 15th century.
The manuscript is now in the possession of Mr. Denison of Albemarle-street and is regarded as one of the most interesting relics in his famous angling collection. To him it came from the library of Mr. Jesse at the dispersal of which by auction in November, 1868, it was sold for 45s.
