ROOPER, George

POPULAR ANGLING BOOK INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR TO HIS SON

ROOPER, George Thames and Tweed by the author of Flood, Field and Forest

Cassell, Petter and Galpin, 1870.

First edition. 8vo. 141 pp, plus catalogue of adverts. Green cloth with gilt titles and vignettes. Inscribed by the author to his son, "Frank Rooper, August 1870, from his affect. Father, the author." A very good copy, save for some old Christmas stickers below the inscription on the half title.

Under the title of 'Thames and Tweed' Mr. Rooper has given us another of his interesting, amusing, and highly useful books on sporting subjects. The book is essentially an angler's book, full of useful hints given in the pleasantest and most popular style... As a contribution to angling literature, we look upon it as among the best, and certainly one of the pleasantest we have ever read. - Contemporary review in the Sporting Gazette.
"A sensible and useful little book... The young angler may find some useful hints in this book, and the experienced angler will be reminded of delightful places he has visited in bygone years."- Athenæum.
