A Treatyse of Fysshynge wyth an Angle / Being a facsimile reproduction of the first book on the subject of fishing printed in England by Wynkyn de Worde at Westminster in 1496

This fac­sim­ile is faith­ful­ly re­pro­duced by pho­tog­ra­phy; it is being print­ed on rough hand-made pap­er sim­i­lar to that of the or­i­gi­nal, and will be bound in hand­some con­tem­po­rary bind­ing. The in­ter­est and val­ue of this re­pro­duc­tion will be great­ly en­hanced by Mr. BLADES’ Preface, which treats at length, in separate chapters, of the AUTHORSHIP, TYPOGRAPHY, BIBLIOGRAPHY, SUBJECT-MATTER, and PHILOLOGY of the Work.

As THE BOOK OF SAINT ALBANS is the Work in which THE TREATYSE OF FYSSHYNGE WYTH AN ANGLE was in­cor­po­rated on its first pub­li­ca­tion, its pos­ses­sion by the Sub­scrib­ers to the lat­ter should be se­cured, in or­der to com­plete the set of “dy­uerse bokys con­cern­ynge to gen­tyll and no­ble men.”

A full Pro­spec­tus con­cern­ing the pub­li­ca­tion of “The Book of Saint Al­bans” will be sent on ap­pli­ca­tion to

ELLIOT STOCK, 62 PATERNOSTER ROW, LONDON, E.C.
