Reseña del editor

Custom haying pronounced that a book is incomplete without a prefatory introduction, it might savour of arrogance if the tribute were withheld in the present instance, although to a novice the task of complying with this injunction is not a little embarrassing. In order to explain the motives which directed the intrusion of the following pages upon the public, it may be necessary to premise, that desire of fame, or expectation of profit, was not amongst the number. A wish that every lover of the angle should participate in the advantages to be derived from a constant reference to the representations of the insects on which his diversion so materially depends, induced the writer to publish his observations on angling and specimens of flies, which were originally only intended for private inspection.
