Excerpt from Hints on Angling: With Suggestions for Angling Excursions in France and Belgium, to Which Are Appended Some Brief Notices of the English, Scottish, and Irish Waters
Gentle reader, let us have a quiet tete-a-tete with you for a few short minutes. We take you, like an old and tried friend, by the button of your coat, and coolly lead you into our small sanctum, to tell you our private notions, and thoughts, and fancies, concerning this little work of ours, which we entreat you to read, and of course advise you to buy.
Now, don't fidget about, pray; but seat yourself snugly in an author's easy chair, and listen with partial patience, if you please, to our light gossip. After .all, you must allow there is nothing like a quiet private confab with a dear and kind friend.
