Excerpt from Fishing in American Waters: A New Edition, Containing Parts Six and Seven, on Southern and Miscellaneous Fishes As it might not be deemed kind in me to inflict upon the reader my thousand reasons for writing and illustrating this book with pencil sketches copied from life, 1 will therefore merely state that my experience of many years in the practice of the gentle art, which has led me through so many scenes of beauty and loveliness, has made me wish that all the world might learn the enjoyment conferred by the practice of angling. I have endeavored to portray the recreations of the angler in America, with his implements and his game; adding a small tribute to the temperate and industrious class of men who follow for a livelihood the hazardous business of fishing on the broad seas. An outline of the progress of fish-culture in Europe and America is also given, with pencil sketches illustrative of the art of hatching and rearing fishes, including stairs and fish-passes for enabling fishes to surmount mill-dams and falls. The fishes of om coast and estuaries, and the peculiar methods adopted for their capture, form not only a sealed book to Europeans, but to those anglers in America also who confine their recreations to fresh-water attractions. Each game fish affords a distinct interest, with peculiarities worth studying. My sketches may lack artistic finish, but possess the merit of correct outline; and in the words of Raphael, "The outline is the picture." The reader may be assured that fishing, whether for recreation or gain, entices its votaries to unexplored sources of revenue and pleasure.

Genio Scott's Fishing in American Waters has been a classic exploration of new world angling since its original publication in 1875. Scott, an artist, publisher, and fashion entrepreneur, fished in every style and on every major body of water in New England and eastern Canada in the decades before writing this book; his advice on everything from the selection of flies to the selection of fishing companions, and from the consumption of fish to the conservation of fisheries, is still fresh and trenchant today. With dozens of detailed illustrations, this book is one of the finest examples of 19th century angling literature; the handsome facsimile reproduction will be a find addition to any modern day angling library.
