The Gentleman Angler was first published in 1726 and printed for A. Bettesworth, at the Red Lion in Patternoster-Row, London. It was one of the first general books about angling to be released in the 18th century and was very popular at the time. Several later editions of the book were released.
The Gentleman Angler presents angling as a healthy solution and antedote to the challenges of the then modern world and it is gloriously politically incorrect compared to today's culture. Much of the angling instruction within is still relevant today.
The book contains the following sections:
The Preface
The Gentleman Angler
Fishing Equipment
General Instructions for Angling
Bait for Fishing
Fish Species
The Angler’s Song
The Laws of Angling
The Form of a License
Appendix
Appendix One - The Method of Rock Fishing and Sea Fishing
Appendix Two - Technical Terms and Phrases used by Fair Anglers
Appendix Three - Receipts for Dressing Fish in the best & most fashionable manner
Appendix Four - Improve Poor or Barren Ground, by Turning it into Fish Ponds
There are a few very poor quality digital versions of this book currently available online none of which are suitable for eReaders such as the Kindle. They are poor scans of the original 1726 1st edition with blurred inages and text not selectable, hence this edited version of the 1726 book.
