Excerpt from The Adventures of a Salmon in the River Dee
The very general interest manifested of late on the subject which has suggested the following pages, would seem to render any apology for their publication unnecessary; nor does the author pretend to claim the merit of originality, where others of such preeminence have already enlisted the sympathies of the public on its behalf.
In attempting to give a summary of the principal difficulties and dangers which attend the propagation and preservation of the Salmon in the Dee, he has been instigated primarily by a desire to awaken a warmer interest in the welfare of that particular river; and he has been encouraged by a conviction that a statement of facts, taken from any locality, by one to whom opportunity was afforded, could not fail to apply generally; and that, as the mite of a contributor to a cause of general import, his efforts, however humble, might, he trusts, be accepted in a kindly spirit, and offered without presumption.
