A SUPERB VOLUME.-The authoress says in her preface, "I have been particularly fortunate in securing good specimens. Every drawing has been taken from the living fish immediately it came from the water it inhabited; so that no tint has been lost or deadened, either by changing the quality of that element, or by exposure to the atmosphere. The colors of the Trout change directly after they leave the stream; but I was lucky enough to avail myself of the skill of a friend, who supplied me with a succession of them as I sat on the bank, and by which I secured the tints in all their delicacy and brightness."

For,' says the author, being really a great lover of angling, and frequently diverting myself at that sport, sometimes alone and sometimes in company, the accidents of that recreation were the true themes on which the following discourses were not the only meditations I had made.' Discourse IV. is entitled Upon Fishing with an Angle,' Discourse V., 'Upon a Fishe's struggling after swalow'd the Hook,' Discourse X., "Upon a Fishe's running away with the Bait,' and Discourse XV.
