as could not find it, where it was said to be, among the
Lansdowne MSS.

{2} The quip about 'goods and chattels' was revived later, in the case
of a royal mistress.

{3} Sir Walter was fond of trout-fishing, and in his _Quarterly_ review
of Davy's _Salmonia_, describes his pleasure in wading Tweed, in 'Tom
Fool's light' at the end of a hot summer day. In salmon-fishing he was
no expert, and said to Lockhart that he must have Tom Purdie to aid him
in his review of _Salmonia_. The picturesqueness of salmon-spearing by
torchlight seduced Scott from the legitimate sport.

{4} There is an edition by Singer, with a frontispiece by Wainewright,
the poisoner. London, 1820.

{5} Nicolas, I. clv.

{6} _Barker's Delight; or, The Art of Angling_. 1651, 1657, 1659,
London.

{7} I have examined all the Angling works of the period known to me.
Gilbert's _Angler's Delight_ (1676) is a mere pamphlet; William Gilbert,
gent., pilfers from Walton, without naming him, and has literally nothing
original or meritorious. The book is very scarce. My own copy is
'uncut,' but incomplete, lacking the directions for fishing 'in Hackney
River.' Gervase Markham, prior to Walton, is a compiler rather than an
original authority on angling.
