To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The whale, the shark, and the tunny fishery, have some- what of the noble and perilous in theni ; even net fishery, trawling, &c., are more humane and useful — but angling ! No angler can be a good man." LETTER TO LORD BYRON.
' Mt Lord, — You know that in one of the last published cantos of your Don Juan there are the following lines :- — sssATS. 255 ** And angling, too, that solitary vice, Whatever Isaac Walton sings or says ; The quaint, old, cruel coxcomb, in his gullet Should have a hook, a...nd a small trout to pull it.
And a note from your Lordship against the pastime of fly-fishing, &c., which ends with an assertion that ^^ no angler can be a good man." You are not, I conceive, much accus- tomed to be noticed by the pubKc press in such terms as I shall employ on the present occasion. I shall not, in short, treat you with compliment, politeness, or clemency.
What you have"*sung on the subject of angling, is morally false, and poetically clumsy; your rhymes are bad, and your precept is silly and brutal.
