The River Dove - With Some Quiet Thoughts On The Happy Practice Of Angling

The River Dove - With Some Quiet Thoughts on the Happy Practice of Angling is a 1687 book by John Lavicount Anderson on the subject of fishing and its simple pleasures. John Lavicount Anderdon (1792 - 1874) was an English writer best known for his fishing literature and publications related to Christianity. He was an avid fisherman, and one of the earliest professors of the art of angling. Originally written for circulation among his friends and contemporaries only, "The River Dove" contains numerous anecdotes of Cotton and his country life, with hints on the best methods of following his beloved pastime angling. This vintage book will appeal to those with an interest in fishing and country pursuits in general, and it constitutes a must-read for keen anglers. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with that in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of fishing.
