Hardcover. Condición: Very Good +. No Jacket. Gift quality undated, circa 1880 hardcover in olive green cloth with elegantly and ornately illustrated boards. Title on frt board framed in black with elements found in nature, a bird's nest w/eggs, a butterfly, moth, rose, bee, fish, crawdad. Backstrip title in bright gilt with a v…ignette of a jumping fish with pond greenery in the forefront. Corners bumped but not rubbed, displays beautifully. End pages browned, inner hinges fine. few outer leaves carelessly opened in rear, no major loss, or loss to any text, some small chips and closed tears. 260 pp plus 8pg index. 2 pp of adverts in frt and rear. No marks, tears or names. Not exlib. 42 Illustrations throughout the text including full page line drawn plates of various types of fishes, line drawings of knots, tackle, rods, and gear. Few photos and one very charming, peaceful art reproduction signed by Lewis Cohen of a gentleman with his hat, coat, and pipe in a long boat with his line in the water waiting patiently. From the Preface: In the following pages Mr. Wheeley gives a practical account of the modern methods of taking coarse fish, with special reference to the Thames. The chapters on perch and pike have been included to render the work complete, though a later volume of the Library, contributed by Mr. A. Jardine deals exclusively with those fish. The flounder though ostensibly, a sea-fish, finds appropriate place in any work on river, particularly tidal, fishing; and the concluding chapters on Thames trout gives the latest methods - practically coarse-fishing - of taking that remarkable fish. The Editors have to acknowledge some assistance in connection with the illustrations, their thanks being more particularly due to Messrs. Allcock and Bartleet of Reddich, Cummins of Bishop Auckland, Farlow of London, Hardy Bros. of Alnwich and Watson and Hancock of London. A superb example and a fine addition for the actual or armchair angler.

Both items excessively scarce, with the only copies traced on OCLC WorldCat and COPAC at the British Library. The leaves of both have been separated, but comparison with other copies confirms that they are both complete, and otherwise in good condition, with slight wear, and the two leaves of the second item laid down on a piece… of paper. ONE: By 'J. M. G.' Title-page: 'The Old Oaken Chair: | Addressed to | Different Members of his Family. | By J. M. G.' 8pp., 12mo. A neat production, originally on two bifoliums. Gutch's name completed in pencil on title-page, with note: 'Only 12 printed'. Prefatory note: 'WRITTEN in my 76th year, upon receiving from my Brother, GEORGE GUTCH, an OAKEN CHAIR, as a companion to a curiously carved LIBRARY TABLE he had previously sent me.' The poem, in blank verse, covers pp.5-8, and begins: 'OLD OAKEN CHAIR! I love thy antique form, | Thou bring'st to my remembrance the review | Of by-gone days and scenes; - the love I bear | To him, who sent another gift to suit | This room, the shelves of which contain | Volumes of early lore, of poetry divine; | Of that which helps to meditation, | And recalls the mind from earth to heav'n.' The poem refers to the loss of a parent (his wife?), 'kind Mary Anne'. The latter part of the poem concerns the travels in the Aegean of his son J. W. G. Gutch, with six footnotes, the first two reading: 'My son, a Queen's Foreign Messenger, was at this period sent with despatches to Sir William Parker and Mr. Wyse, respecting the settlement of the affairs of Greece.' and 'After delivering the despatches, he was permitted to land at Athens, and had sufficient time and opportunity to visit the celebrated classical scenes which surround the city.' TWO (by 'H. B. T.)': Title-page: 'The Old Oaken Chair. | Dedcated | (without permission) | to | Mrs. Gutch.' 2pp., 12mo. Originally a bifolium, with title-page on recto of the first leaf and poem on the recto of the second. Uniform in design with Item One. Poem dated at end: 'H. B. T. | Worcester, | 7th October, 1850.' Twelve-line poem in three four-line stanzas: 'FULL many chairs on dais placed, | Have held both knaves and fools; | Some who their Country's cause betrayed, | Some who were party's tools. | But here's an honest chair of oak, | Which holds an honest man; | Whose life will bear the scrutiny | Of Honour's closest scan. | Dear Madam, let me breathe a wish, | (As you will breathe a prayer,) | That years may pass ere you shall sigh, | "Ah! there's the VACANT CHAIR!"'.
