CHARLES LANMAN.
AUTHOR OF ADVENTURES OF AN ANGLER IN AMERICA

LONDON:
Printed by Schulze & Co., 13, Poland Street.

TO
SOLOMON T. NICOLL, ESQ.

To you, in testimony of my friendship, I inscribethis little Volume.

On a pleasant morning in May last, I awokefrom a piscatorial dream, haunted by the idea, thatI must spend a portion of the approaching summerin the indulgence of my passion for angling.Relinquishing my editorial labours for a time, Iperformed a pilgrimage, which has resulted in theproduction of this Volume. I hope it may entertainthose of my friends and the public, who haveheretofore received my literary efforts with favour.viThe work will be found to contain a record ofAdventures in the Valleys of the Hudson, St.Lawrence and St. John, and along some of therivers of New England.Truly your friend,Charles Lanman.

NEW-YORK, 1847.
