ICHARD CLAY AND SONS, LIMITED, BREAD STREET HILL, E.C., AND BUNGAV, SUFFOLK. PREFACE IN preparing this volume on salmon and sea trout fishing, the editors have kept in view the purpose rather to present the experience of a practical angler, and the conclusions founded there- on, than to retail the precepts and instructions prescribed by other writers. Every statement in this book every article in equipment described every pattern of fly described is given, except where otherwise specified, on the author's actual knowledge of them, and every theory suggested is founded on personal observation. Quotations have been admitted only where they tend to corroborate the views put forward, not from any disrespect to those who hold other opinions, but to avoid swelling the volume beyond a convenient size. It has been a matter of careful consideration how far mention should be made of the goods supplied by various tradesmen, and whether it was desirable to reproduce explanatory figures from trade catalogues. On the first point we have decided that, in- asmuch as an is use material angler 908743unable q vi PREFACE supplied by all the excellent manufacturers, nO- thing invidious is implied by his naming those whose tackle has done him good service, and that it would be unsatisfactory if readers were not directed to establishments where they are sure to get the best quality of goods, although there are many other tradesmen able and ready to supply them of equal excellence. The second point was more difficult to decide. It must be admitted that there is a certain weari- ness in recognising the same cuts in one angling work after another. On the other hand, we hope that our readers will not consist entirely of experts, but that neophytes will turn to our pages for instruction in outfit, as well as other matters. To those it cannot but be convenient to have illustra- tions of the various articles recommended, enabling them to dispense with reading many superfluous pages of description. The author desires to record his sense of obliga- tion to many persons who have assisted him by Correspondence or by the loan of woodcuts. Among the former are Lieut.-Col. Haig, C.M.G., of Bemersyde, Captain Ernest Pretyman, M.P., and Mr. Archer, Inspector of Salmon Fisheries in Scotland; 1 while the latter include Mr. Horace 1 Since this was written, Scotland has lost the invaluable services of Mr. Walter Archer, who has been appointed Inspector of Salmon Fisheries in England. PRfcFACfc vii Cox, who has permitted the use of certain illustra- tions from Dr. Day's British and Irish Salinonida; Messrs. W. Clowes and Son, who lent some cuts from their Fisheries Exhibition Literature; Messrs. Farlow and Co., Messrs. Hardy of Alnwick, Mr. Roderick Anderson of Edinburgh, and Messrs. Hutchinson of Kendal, who furnished illustrations and specimens of tackle, hooks, &c. Among those amateurs who have assisted with the camera, grateful acknowledgment must be made to the Hon.

It is scarcely necessary to say that no such attempt will be made in the following pages. On those points where the results of a tolerably long experience of many rivers has brought the author into disagreement with the opinions of others, the same will be expressed by him with the utmost respect for those from whom he has the misfortune to differ, although he may feel it his duty to show how little evidence there seems to be in support of certain doctrines very commonly maintained by salmon-fishers.

In absence of the information about those tyers I decided to proceed with what I had and over the next few years, if I could get the information on the others, I would consider releasing a second book. Never did I realize that it would take me six years to gather that information. During the six years I had the pleasure of personally meeting a number of the tyers. Sadly some of them are no longer with us. During the many meetings I had with the fly tyers, their families and friends I will never forget their kindness and generosity.

My dissertation examines the literary manifestation of Stoicism’s legacy, in particular regarding the institution and danger of autonomy, the foundation and limitation of virtue, the nature of the passions, the difference between good and evil, and the referentiality of language. Alongside the standard satirical responses to the ancient creed’s rigor and rationalism, seventeenth- and eighteenth-century poetry, drama, and prose developed Stoic formulations that made the most demanding of philosophical ideals tenable within the framework of common experience. Instead of serving as hallmarks for hypocrisy, the literary stoics I investigate uphold a brand of stoicism fit for the post-regicidal, post- Protestant Reformation, post-scientific revolutionary world. My project reveals how writers used Stoicism to determine the viability of philosophical precept and establish ways of compensating for human fallibility. The ambivalent status of the Stoic sage, staged and restaged in countless texts, exemplified the period’s anxiety about measuring up to its ideals, its efforts to discover the plenitude of ii natural laws and to live by them.

  • U DYE WB Yeadon London & North Eastern 1847-1997 Railway Collection
    Hull History Centre: W.B. Yeadon London & North Eastern Railway collection U DYE W.B. Yeadon London & North Eastern 1847-1997 Railway collection Historical background: Willie Brayshaw Yeadon was born in Yeadon in the West Riding of Yorkshire on 28 June 1907. After his schooldays, he trained to become a mechanical engineer, and started work with Bradford Dyers, but was unfortunately made redundant in 1930 following the onset of terrible trading conditions. In 1931 he joined JH Fenner Ltd in Hull ('makers of improved beltings'), eventually becoming Sales Manager and then Marketing Manager, until his official retirement in 1972. He died at the age of 89 on 16 January 1997 in Hull Royal Infirmary after a short illness. By then he had become probably the country's leading authority on the London & North Eastern Railway and its locomotives. Indeed, Eric Fry, honorary editor of 'Locomotives of the LNER', writing in the 'Railway Observer' in March 1997, described him as possibly 'the foremost locomotive historian of all time'. Willie Yeadon's earliest railway interest had been the London & North Western Railway, with visits and family holidays to Shap summit and Tebay. On his removal to Hull, however, the London & North Eastern Railway became his main preoccupation, and he was particularly inspired by the development and progress of Sir Nigel Gresley's Pacific class locomotives during the 1930s. He began to collect railway photographs in 1933, and continued his interest after railway nationalisation in 1948. The British Railways modernisation programme undertaken from the mid - 1950s prompted him to investigate and record the history of every LNER locomotive.

EPHEMERA Of Bell's Life in London, AUTHOR OF 'THE BOOK OF THE SALMON 5 ETC. * I have been a great follower of fishing myself, and in its cheerful solitude have passed some of the happiest hours of a sufficiently happy life.' PALEY. FOURTH EDITION LONDON: LONGMANS, GKEEN, AND CO. 1865. PKEFACE THE THIRD EDITION. To the previous editions of this practical work I prefixed somewhat lengthened prefaces. They were then necessary, as a bush is to a new tavern not as yet renowned for its good wine. The words * Third Edition' in the present title-page are more significant than any preface. They prove that I am still called for in the fishing market. I obey the call, am thankful for the favour I have found, and shall say very little more. Five years have elapsed since I read this angling treatise through and through. Recently I have done so twice in preparing this third edition. The book appeared to me as if it had been written by another like a long-absent child whose features I had almost forgotten.
