Excerpt from The Life of Isaac Walton: Including Notices of His Contemporaries

The recent republication of the Complete Angler, by Isaac Walton and Charles Cotton, with the singular omission of any biographical detail relating to the authors, suggested the printing of Dr. Zoucn's Life of Walton, in a size suitable to accompany Mr. Major's edition, adding such illustrations as were not to be found among the embellishments blended throughout his publication. The portraits of Walton aud Cotton, engraved by Mr. Mitan, are very dissimilar to the original pictures; and many of the tail-pieces tend but little to illustrate the pages of the most pleasing 'pastoral historic' ever written.

In the present edition of the Life of our old piscatory friend, by Dr. Zouch, considerable corrections have been added by way of notes, the result of more recent inquiries, and an attempt to narrate all that is known respecting 'honest old Isaac Walton.'

The portraits attached to this work are engraved on steel plates, from drawings after the original pictures; and the autographs, from authentic specimens in the possession of the writer. The fac-simle of the title of the first edition, in 1653, has also been added, as the copy given by Mr. Major will be found incorrect.
