Abstract
WE always open Mr. Sheringham's contributions to angling literature with the expectation of being beguiled by very pleasant reading, and, incidentally, of acquiring much useful information. In the case of his “Elements of Angling” we were in no wise disappointed. The book is primarily addressed to and intended for the young angler, that is, the angler young in his art, for our author will not acknowledge that any man is too old to begin; it is wide in its scope, but does not enter into so much detail as to be likely either to confuse or weary a prospective fisherman. If such a term may be excused, we would describe it as an elementary text-book of fresh-water fishing, and, like many other text-books, we think it is well worthy of study even by those well versed in the subject of which it treats.
