The success I had during the twenty-five years in which I was connected with this study was, I believe, chiefly owing to the fact that although my principal study was the lines and formation of hands, yet I did not confine myself alone to th...

Gudgeons And Minnows









These are very beautiful little fish, and most wholesome food; they are
the best bait for perch, jack, and large trout, that can be, as I
mentioned before. The way to angle for them is to have a couple of very
small hooks tied on hair or fine gut, with a shot or two to carry the
float off the bottom, say a small quill float, bait your hook with a
very small red worm, or a piece of a brandling worm; they may be seen
very numerous in the Thames, along the sides of streams, and in smooth
running water with gravelly bottom; they afford nice amusement to the
young angler, and when taken out of the water are remarkably handsome to
look at.
