An Angler's Garland. By Erie Parker. (Philip Allan. Os. 6d.)

— Mr. Parker has compiled a must attractive anthology of prose and verse for the Fisherman. Ever since Izaak Walton the tradition of literature—some would say of romance—has been associated with that of fishing. However familiar he may be with this fact, the lay reader will probably be astonished at the picturesqueness and the stylistic charm of these (nearly three hundred) estracts.
