Excerpt from The Fisher's Vade Mecum, or Angler's Almanac for 1851: Calculated for All Parts of the United States, Containing, Besides the Usual Information, Maxims and Hints for Anglers in Prose and Verse, &C., , &C., Beautifully IllustratedSome writers have expressed surprise at the enthusiasm of anglers, seeing that the produce of the sport seldom appears to counterbalance the general disappointment and dulness. But surely they have not traced the subject up to its source. The sportsman's real object is not, in general, to acquire a quantity of game, else he might purchase it at less cost and with less trouble in the public market, but it is that he may enjoy the pleasure of an art. The game is but a means of his excitement.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
