Anecdotes of Fish and Fishing. By Thomas Boosey. (Hamilton, Adams,

and Co.)—Here we have printed a commonplace book, with a number of extracts of every kind relating to fish and fishing. We are curious about the date of the book. The editor thanks Sir Henry Ellis (who died in 1869) for the use of his collection of books on angling. We notice, too, that in comparing prices, ancient and modern, we have Edwarde's list set over against a Billingsgate average dated 1804. The extracts, too, are of a somewhat antiquated kind.
