Excerpt from Stray Notes on Fishing and Natural History

With regard to those connected with Na tural History I feel that an apology is needed -especially in this eminently scientific age for my presumption in venturing to deal with the subject so superficially. There is, indeed, nothing in these Notes which can commend them to the man of science, they being merely records of every-day matters, which, though simple in themselves, have nevertheless yielded me so much interest and pleasure, that they may, it is hoped, even second-hand, be capable of affording some amusement to others.

The combination of the two subjects is one which may be thought to require some explanation.
