(Hardcover, 1853). (1847) 1865 4th edition. 12mo (110 x 178mm). Ppviii,312 + 32pp ads. B/w frontispiece of salmon flies, text engravings. Decoratively blind-stamped green cloth, spine titled in gilt, brown coated end-papers. Front inner professionally repaired. Cloth a little rubbed but good. Armorial bookplate and end-paper ownership signature of T. Godfrey Hatfeild of Thorp Arch Hall, York, 1866. Third edition, considerably revised. In the author's preface he states "I have, I think, improved the general style of the volume; excised repetitions, rejected incorrect instruction, unsound suggestion, opinion, and advice, and replaced them by accurate information and counsel. The list of trout-flies I have shortened and simplified, and given no fancy patterns. .The natural history of salmon I have re-written. .The list of salmon-flies for the best rivers in the British Isles I have remodelled after the best specimens in that gallery of ideal insect beauties which I painted for The Book of the Salmon." Chapters on artificial flies; their dressing and use, together with monthly lists of recommended flies for both trout and salmon; trolling tackle and techniques; bottom fishing; piscatorial physiology by Erasmus Wilson, F.R.S; and the habits of freshwater fish. Though the book includes sections on bottom fishing, the author most definitely favours the fly and includes a section on "The superiority and merits of fly-fishing." He does, however, still have time for the coarse fish except, perhaps, the carp of which he says "The yellowish olive carp stands at the head of a very numerous family, giving, in my opinion, no very honourable name to them. They are just as bad a race as the salmon tribe are excellent. .Neither I nor anyone else can tell you how to catch satisfactorily with the angle the pater familias of the carp; he is so sly, and nibbles in such a namby-pamby way, that he strips the hook of its bait mouse-like." .

Condición: new. (Hardcover, 1995). (1850) 1995 new edition. 8vo (165 x 242mm). Ppxxvi,242. Eight full-page colour plates, five of them of salmon flies. Full burgundy goatskin with actual salmon fly set within a bespoke mount inside the front board. De luxe edition. Fine in silk-lined box with the initials R.H.L. (previous owner Sir Richard Leigh) to the front. One of 55 copies incorporating an actual salmon fly tied by Henrik Strandgaard. One of 55 de luxe copies, each containing an actual salmon fly tied by Henrik Strandgaard. The Book of the Salmon (1850) is one of the best-known books on salmon fishing of the nineteenth century. It belongs to the exciting decade from 1842, which saw the publication of Blacker's first edition, Scrope's Days and Nights of Salmon Fishing and Jones's Guide to Norway, some of the most brilliant (and most desirable) of all fly-fishing books. 'Ephemera' was an Irishman, Edward Fitzgibbon. He was a friend of William Blacker, the celebrated tackle-dealer, and an excellent all-round angler of great experience. Unlike Blacker, Fitzgibbon could write, and he was an ambitious author. The Book of the Salmon is the first comprehensive guide to salmon fishing to be published. In addition, it contains five colour plates of flies and three plates of salmon fry, superbly engraved by the Adlards (the same men who produced the dazzling plates in Jones's Guide to Norway). Westwood and Satchell's Bibliotheca Piscatoria, (1883) comments, "the chapters on fly-making are unusually clear and comprehensible." The quality and rarity of Ephemera's book have made it a most sought after collector's piece which fetches (when it occasionally appears) a substantial price. It is an essential volume for anyone interested in the history of the salmon fly. .
