185189397New York: Stringer & Townsend 1851. New Edition Revised and Corrected. Octavo. 20cm.

Strong tight and handsome all edges gilt; internally clean and fresh illustrated throughout. A very good clean copy of the 2nd edition overall and the first to be accompanied by llustrations from the author. <br /> <br /> Henry Herbert was a rather tragic figure seemingly continually falling short of his own expectations of himself and who only seemed to find any sort of steady personal voice in his works under the Forester pseudonym discussing the finer arts of shooting fishing and woodland stalking. A sort of wandering genetic remnant of several aristocratic British bloodlines but frequently financially wobbly and unable to get a steady footing Herbert seems to have alienated most people in his circle at one time or another and eventually shot himself in a full length mirror after having thrown a party to which many were invited but none attended. <br /> Although his output included a slew of adventure novels and various other literary exploits he is chiefly remembered for his wistful keenly observed and evocative accounts of woodland sporting activities. Scarce and collectable. Stringer & Townsend unknown

The Fisheries are the greatest and at present almost the only resource of the West of Ireland. From the loss of the potatoes as a certain means of subsistence the fiishermen would give their undivided time to the Fisheries instead of losing the best seasons by wasting their labour on a high-rented potato garden. They would thus throw an immense quantity of cured food such as Hake Cod Ling Herring Haddock and Coal Fish into the interior of the country while they could dispose of such fish as could not be cured such as Turbot Plaice Mackerel Gurnard John Dorey Ray and Soles at the markets along the coast. The cured fish even with the present limited supply brought to the markets of Westport and Newport County Mayo is sold as low as a penny per lb. free from bone green salted that is not dried and sometimes not so high as a halfpenny per lb. fresh.The company should establish stations along the coast: say they began with three one at Killibegs one at Newport Pratt and one at the Shannon Mouth.From the Store at Ballyshannon I would send fresh fish packed in Ice and also cured fish by water carriage through the Enniskillen Lakes and by the Ulster Canal on to Belfast supplying all the intermediate twons and interior of the country. Chapters in the book include for example: Herring Nets - Buoys - Mode of Curing / Curing the Herring / The Rhodry-More / The Cod Fisheries / Lobster Crab and Cray Fish / Packing Herring etc. etc. hardcover
