[Mr. Haslewood thought that there was probably an earlier edition, from the date of the licence for the press in the Stationers' Registers, which stands, "with allowance, Oct. 20th, 1674. Roger L'Estrange." No earlier edition, however, is known. At page 14 the author alludes to barbel frequenting London Bridge, and his "Method of fishing in Hackney River," is preluded thus: "Then go to Mother Gibert's, at the Flower de Luce at Clapton, near Hackney, and whilst you are drinking a pot of ale bid the maid make you two or three pennyworth of ground-bait, and some paste (which they do very neatly and well.)" At page 40, he adds, "There is an excellent stand in the second meadow on the left hand, beyond the ferry, under a willow tree, in the midst of the meddow, by the water side." Amongst the necessary equipments of an angler he recommends, "A good coat for all weather; an apron to put your ground-bait, stones and paste in; a basket to put your fish in; a neat rod of about 4 foot long, in several pieces one within another;...and, if you have a boy to go along with you, a good neat's tongue and a bottle of Canary should not be wanting: to the enjoyment of which I leave you."
