your_o observation_n these_o general_a rule_n for_o fish_n and_o fish_n with_o direction_n also_o for_o bait_n and_o season_n th._n be_v you_o my_o tutor_n and_o i_o will_v be_v your_o pupil_n the_o salmon_n ar._n as_o the_o salmon_n be_v a_o monarch_n and_o king_n in_o the_o fresh_n so_o he_o be_v the_o ultimate_a result_n of_o the_o angler_n conquest_n this_o royal_a game_n all_o the_o

rational_o conclude_v without_o a_o parenthesis_n that_o he_o be_v always_o to_o be_v find_v though_o not_o always_o in_o season_n beside_o the_o salmon_n be_v incident_a as_o other_o fish_n be_v to_o various_a accident_n more_o especial_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o female_a fish_n who_o in_o the_o spring_n as_o other_o female_n do_v drop_v her_o egg_n but_o some_o call_v it_o spawn_n which_o make_v her_o infirm_a and_o if_o it_o so_o happen_v that_o she_o lag_n behind_o her_o natural_a mate_n in_o the_o fall_n of_o the_o leaf_n she_o be_v then_o prohibit_v the_o benefit_n of_o salt-water_n to_o bathe_v her_o fin_n and_o carry_v off_o her_o slimy_a impurity_n which_o be_v the_o natural_a cause_n of_o her_o kipperish_a infirmity_n that_o alter_v her_o delicate_a proportion_n of_o body_n and_o blot_v out_o the_o beautiful_a vermillion_n stain_v and_o sanguine_a tincture_n of_o blood_n which_o vivid_o and_o transparent_o shine_v through_o she_o rubify_v gills_o so_o that_o now_o she_o begin_v to_o look_v languid_a and_o pale_a her_o fin_n they_o fag_v and_o her_o scale_n by_o degree_n lose_v their_o natural_a shine_a brightness_n as_o also_o her_o regular_a and_o well-composed_a fabric_n of_o body_n look_v thin_a lean_a and_o discolour_a and_o her_o head_n that_o grow_v big_a and_o disproportionable_a as_o if_o distemper_a and_o invade_v with_o the_o rickets_o over_o who_o chap_n hang_v a_o callous_a substance_n not_o much_o unlike_a to_o a_o falcon_n beak_n which_o plain_o denote_v she_o out_o of_o season_n and_o as_o plain_o as_o any_o thing_n demonstrate_v her_o kippar_n now_o i_o come_v to_o nominate_v some_o eminent_a river_n in_o england_n that_o accommodate_v the_o angler_n with_o the_o race_n of_o salmon_n first_o therefore_o i_o prefer_v the_o river_n trent_n because_o of_o her_o rapid_a and_o oriental_a stream_n that_o never_o sully_v themselves_o till_o arrive_v near_o to_o the_o shore_n of_o gainsborough_n where_o trent_n oft_o wash_v her_o bank_n with_o the_o eager_a so_o glide_v immediate_o into_o the_o arm_n of_o humber_n next_o unto_o trent_n we_o present_v you_o with_o the_o translucid_a glitter_a stream_n of_o severn_n that_o not_o far_o from_o bristol_n mingle_v themselves_o with_o the_o ocean_n nor_o shall_v we_o omit_v those_o torpid_a and_o melancholy_a stream_n of_o owse_n that_o gulf_n themselves_o into_o trent-fall_a but_o of_o all_o river_n that_o glide_v through_o the_o cultivated_a field_n in_o england_n the_o bountiful_a beautiful_a and_o most_o illustrious_a thames_n have_v the_o sovereignty_n of_o the_o rest_n because_o her_o stream_n influence_n not_o england_n only_o but_o all_o the_o bank_n and_o shore_n in_o europe_n and_o be_v without_o precedent_n because_o of_o the_o excellency_n and_o delicacy_n of_o her_o fish_n more_o especial_o below_o bridg_n where_o the_o merchant_n turn_v angler_n and_o throw_v their_o line_n as_o far_o as_o both_o indies_n peru_n the_o ganges_n mozembique_n barbary_n smirna_n alexandria_n aleppo_n scandaroon_n and_o all_o the_o wealthy_a port_n in_o the_o universe_n these_o be_v the_o fish_n that_o feast_v the_o nation_n otherwise_o england_n will_v be_v unlike_o itself_o if_o unhappy_o want_v such_o provident_a angler_n but_o scotland_n have_v already_o receive_v a_o character_n of_o most_o of_o her_o eminent_a river_n and_o rivulet_n that_o wash_v and_o moisten_v her_o sandy_a shore_n nor_o have_v i_o nominate_v more_o than_o four_o metropolitan_a river_n in_o england_n that_o bathe_v her_o fertile_a and_o florid_n bank_n because_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o step_v into_o wales_n or_o the_o suburb_n of_o it_o to_o discover_v there_o a_o singular_a curiosity_n which_o probable_o may_v puzzle_v the_o opinion_n of_o artist_n and_o other_o now_o one_o of_o these_o river_n in_o call_v wye_n but_o the_o other_o be_v know_v by_o the_o name_n of_o vsk_n both_o which_o river_n as_o i_o be_o tell_v incorporate_v themselves_o on_o the_o southside_n of_o monmouth_n but_o the_o reason_n why_o i_o mention_v these_o two_o eminent_a river_n be_v only_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o various_a entertainment_n by_o reason_n the_o salmon_n there_o be_v always_o in_o season_n for_o the_o one_o supply_n the_o defect_n of_o the_o other_o as_o thus_o for_o example_n if_o when_o to_o consider_v wye_n flourish_v with_o salmon_n vsk_v as_o if_o no_o river_n be_v rare_o discourse_v of_o on_o the_o contrary_a when_o as_o vsk_v send_v her_o supply_n to_o the_o border_a inhabitant_n then_o be_v wye_n as_o little_a as_o any_o thing_n think_v of_o by_o this_o contrariety_n and_o diversity_n of_o nature_n the_o native_n may_v conclude_v that_o winter_n and_o summer_n give_v not_o only_o the_o season_n to_o salmon_n but_o rather_o that_o they_o have_v law_n from_o the_o stream_n they_o glide_v in_o or_o wales_n differ_v from_o all_o the_o world_n the_o next_o thing_n that_o fall_v under_o the_o angler_n consideration_n be_v the_o bait_n or_o charm_n for_o the_o royal_a race_n of_o salmon_n which_o i_o reduce_v under_o the_o classis_fw-la of_o two_o general_n viz._n the_o fly_n for_o frolic_a to_o flourish_v and_o sport_n on_o the_o surface_n of_o the_o stream_n and_o the_o ground-bait_n for_o diversion_n when_o design_v to_o drag_v at_o the_o bottom_n but_o what_o if_o i_o direct_v you_o a_o central_a way_n that_o in_o my_o opinion_n upon_o approve_a practice_n will_v entice_v he_o ashore_o in_o mid-water_n now_o if_o the_o angler_n design_n that_o for_o his_o exercise_n in_o such_o case_n let_v he_o make_v provision_n of_o fair_a and_o large_a minew_n small_a gudgeon_n or_o a_o diminutive_a dace_n with_o the_o artificial_a use_n of_o the_o swivel_n to_o flourish_v his_o bait_n the_o brightness_n or_o gloominess_n of_o the_o day_n consider_v but_o if_o the_o ground-bait_n be_v intend_v which_o always_o succeed_v best_a in_o discolour_a water_n then_o in_o such_o case_n prepare_v for_o he_o a_o well-scoured_n lob-worm_n or_o knot_a dew-worm_n drag_v forth_o of_o the_o forest_n or_o any_o other_o sterile_a or_o barren_a soil_n which_o as_o soon_o as_o any_o thing_n with_o dextrous_a management_n will_v compel_v he_o ashore_o though_o it_o cost_v he_o his_o life_n i_o write_v from_o experience_n for_o i_o be_o not_o unacquainted_a with_o the_o multiform_a variety_n of_o terrene_a animal_n as_o you_o may_v read_v more_o at_o large_a in_o my_o follow_a appendix_n more_o especial_o of_o those_o worm_n that_o be_v take_v and_o drag_v forth_o out_o of_o a_o hard_a and_o skirrou_n earth_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v well_o depurate_v or_o scour_v two_o or_o three_o day_n in_o the_o fine_a clean_a and_o sweet_a moss_n that_o fasten_v itself_o to_o the_o

better_o and_o more_o concordant_a to_o my_o approbation_n be_v fleet_v cream_n from_o the_o benevolence_n of_o the_o dairy_n which_o to_o admiration_n make_v your_o worm_n become_v viscous_a and_o
