Easy-Chair Memories and Rambling Notes. By the Amateur Angler (E.

Marston). (Sampson Low, Marston and Co. 2s. (3d. not.)—Mr. Marston tolls us that his "angling days are over." That time Comes sooner or later to all lovers of the "gentle art." What is left to them is the consolation of memory. And this Mr. Marston very kindly shares with his readers. He does not always take them to the river side : for instance, when he visits Ilanthony Abbey, he has something to say about other creatures besides fleh. He has an eye for the sights of natural history—most anglers have—and out of one thing and another he makes up a very pleasant little book.
