Description of all the Utensils, Instruments, Tackling, and Materials

Brief Account of most of the Principal Rivers in England. By a Lover of 
the Sport”

London; printed by T. James for Tho. Holder at the Angel in Little 
Britain: [1790].

First published in 1682, although not the earliest English work on 
fishing, Nobbes' work is one of the most popular, and Nobbes has been 
called "the Father of trollers". Republished in this 1790 edition 
[falsely dated 1682 on the title page] and again in 1805.

Hardcover. 3.5"x6", [17] 78 [2] pages; several woodcut illustrations in 
the text. 1 page list of other books published by Helder on the last 
page. Bound in old full leather with gilt dentelles and an elaborately 
blindstamped spine; engraved bookplates of James Walsh and Henry A. 
Sherwin; ownership label of H.S. Smith; another ownership label removed 
from the endpaper. Covers with some wear and rubbing, contents a bit 
browned, with a small stain running down the upper portion of the outer 
margin; pages pressed, newer endpapers, front endpaper detached but 
present, title page supplied with neatly inked light red/brown rules 
around the margins and underlining the title which actually looks quite 
handsome.  [36951]  $375
