Samenvatting:

A detailed guide to a variety of aquatic sports, with information on and instructions for angling, swimming, rowing, sailing, skating, sliding, and curling. Detailed and profusely illustrated, "Aquatic Sports" is not to be missed by collectors of vintage sporting literature, and will be of utility to modern readers with an interest in water-based activities. Contents include: "The Implements", "Baits", "Lines", "Hooks", "Articles Necessary for Anglers", "Live Baits", "Sea Fishing", "With Nets", "Trout", "Carp", "The Tench", "The Babbel", "The Roach", "Dace", "The Gudgeon", "The Chub", "Bleak and Minnow", "Bream", "The Pope, or Ruff", "Jack, or Pike", "Natural Fly-Fishing", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
