The first edition of this book was published in 1871. There were only a limited number of copies thrown off. No copies are now to be had, except in the hands of private individuals, and in the respective libraries of the British Museum, of Oxford, of Cambridge, of Dublin, of the Edin burgh University Library, and of the Advocate's Library, Edinburgh; in short, the first edition is out of print, and has been so for ten years. This second edition has been increased in size by additions to the original printed text, by a preface, appendix of relative documents, and an index.

The interest which the public, at large are now taking in piscatory matters is every day becoming self apparent. We have had an International Fishery Exhibition, held at Edin burgh, from the 12th to the 30th April, 1882, at which the fishery products of the United Kingdom, as well as of some foreign nations, were exhibited; and on the let of May, 1883, there was opened in London a more comprehensive Inter national Fishery Exhibition, under the patronage of the Queen, whereat every foreign nation was represented, with relative fishery articles, combined with specimens of the fish found and bred in their respective dominions.
