Cloth is lightly chipped head of the spine and edge worn on the corners. Light occasional foxed spots to the text. Inscribed and signed by the author on the title page - "Samuel C. Clarke Esq. With the respects of Oliver Gibbs Jr." Contents are a series of letters from a former Civil War officer to General Spinner on fishing in Minnesota. From the introduction: "These letters were begun with the purpose of amusing a little band of wild men in Washington who adopting the habits and customs of civilized life were found to be pining for their old sports; and chained to their office work the whole year round by the behests of public duty they were obliged to be led around in some way as these letters took them - On Paper - or starve their gushing fancies altogether except so far as they might be able to subsist upon the memory of what they had done with gun and angle before they came here. General F. E. Spinner Treasurer of the United States was the "Big Indian" of this band. Hence the letters were addressed to him; and it was upon his motion that they were given a wider reading than was first intended through The Spirit of the Times. H. D. McIntyre & Co hardcover

Strong despite its innate fragility handsome despite wear a good solid example of a book that is a distinct rarity complete in its original wraps. <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 lost 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. G.B. Zieber & Co unknown

Oyster Dredges: English Oyster Dredge / Irish Oyster Dredge / Large Size Oyster Dredge Brabazon writes in his Introduction: 'I am induced to write this account of the present state of the Irish Fisheries and offer the following suggestions for their improvement which may be carried into effect by a Fishing Company conferring the greatest benefits on the country and profit to themselves. 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
