Wade (Henry) Rod-Fishing in Clear Waters, by Fly, Minnow, and Worm, With A Short and Easy Method to the Art of Dressing Flies, 12 hand-coloured plates of flies, lightly spotted, front free endpaper becoming detached, hinges a little weak, original cloth, gilt, [Westwood & Satchell p.216], 8vo, Bell and Daldy, n.d. [1860]. ***Probably the best-known book on angling in the north of England at the time. It contains a fierce attack on Stewart's views on the colour of flies, but the author in his methods was as strong an advocate of 'up-stream' fishing as Stewart..
