    Description

    First Edition, Rebound

    Including a memoir by Anna M. Stoddart, the author's daughter.

    Thomas Tod Stoddart (1810–1880) was a Scottish angler and poet. An early passion for angling became the main business of his life. He investigated the haunts and habits of fish, and was an adept of fly-making. This book contains all sorts of songs to pass the time while fishing, and a frontispiece portrait of the author at his craft.

    Containing the bookplate of a previous owner: 'This book is property of Charles G. Brown, Advocate, In Aberdeen'.

    Condition

    Bound in full dark cloth. Externally, very smart, with a few marks to the boards. Including a previous owner's bookplate to the front free-endpaper. Internally, firmly bound. Spotting to the first and last few pages, as well as to the fore-edge, but otherwise pages are bright and clean.

    Very Good Indeed
