Excerpt from The History of the Isle of Wight: Military, Ecclesiastical, Civil,& Natural: To Which Is Added a View of Its Agriculture At what period they performed this migration, cannot, perhaps, be exactly ascertained; though it seems likely to have happened about one thousand years before the Christian AEra. The Kentish shore would probably be the spot which first received these wanderers, on account of its vicinity to the regions from whence they came. They would not, however, long confine themselves to this corner of the kingdom; the pressure of additional emigrants would oblige them to seek more distant habitations, and they would soon extend themselves along the Southern and Eastern coasts of the country. This would probably happen about a century after the arrival of the original tribe; at which period we may suppose the Isle of Wight received its first inhabitants.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1795 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAP, III. THE ZOOLOGY OF THE ISLE OF WIGHT; ITS ANIMALS, REPTILES, AND FISH. " But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee j and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee: " " Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee; and the fishes of the sea shajl declare unto thee." " Who knoweth not in all these, that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this ?" We have hitherto considered the magnificent exhibitions of nature in the Isle of Wight: we shall now descend to her more minute but not less interesting operations. In the contemplation of caverns, rocks, and mountains, the mind is rather awed into astonishment than softened into delight: we there behold the agency of a Being of infinite power and majesty, at whose presence the " earth shakes, the heavens Dd 2 drop, drop, and the waters are afraid but in surveying the economy of the animal and vegetable kingdoms; the exquisite mechanism with which their individuals are formed; the unerring instincts with which they are endued; and the nice adaptation of their several parts to answer the purposes for which they were created; we acknowledge the finger of a God, wife and benevolent, as he is great and powersul; who is " good to all the creatures of his hand; and whose tender mercies are over all his works." The fauna Vettenfis does not add much to the zoology of Hampshire. It is indeed marked by some singular omissions in the chain of quadrupeds common in every other part of England. The fox, who has for ages been the terror of the farmer, and the delight of the sportsman throughout Britain, was never yet found in the Isle of Wight. The harmless badger also, and the fetid fitchet, or polecat, are strangers to this district; which, from the absence of these animals, and its...

PREFACE. THE Author of this very practical treatise on Scotch Loch - Fishing desires clearly that it may be of use to all who had it. He does not pretend to have written anything new, but to have attempted to put what he has to say in as readable a form as possible. Everything in the way of the history and habits of fish has been studiously avoided, and technicalities have been used as sparingly as possible. The writing of this book has afforded him pleasure in his leisure moments, and that pleasure would be much increased if he knew that the perusal of it would create any bond of sympathy between himself and the angling community in general. This section is interleaved with blank shects for the readers notes. The Author need hardly say that any suggestions addressed to the case of the publishers, will meet with consideration in a future edition. We do not pretend to write or enlarge upon a new subject. Much has been said and written-and well said and written too on the art of fishing but loch-fishing has been rather looked upon as a second-rate performance, and to dispel this idea is one of the objects for which this present treatise has been written. Far be it from us to say anything against fishing, lawfully practised in any form but many pent up in our large towns will bear us out when me say that, on the whole, a days loch-fishing is the most convenient. One great matter is, that the loch-fisher is depend- ent on nothing but enough wind to curl the water, -and on a large loch it is very seldom that a dead calm prevails all day, -and can make his arrangements for a day, weeks beforehand whereas the stream- fisher is dependent for a good take on the state of the water and however pleasant and easy it may be for one living near the banks of a good trout stream or river, it is quite another matter to arrange for a days river-fishing, if one is looking forward to a holiday at a date some weeks ahead. Providence may favour the expectant angler with a good day, and the water in order but experience has taught most of us that the good days are in the minority, and that, as is the case with our rapid running streams, -such as many of our northern streams are, -the water is either too large or too small, unless, as previously remarked, you live near at hand, and can catch it at its best. A common belief in regard to loch-fishing is, that the tyro and the experienced angler have nearly the same chance in fishing, -the one from the stern and the other from the bow of the same boat. Of all the absurd beliefs as to loch-fishing, this is one of the most absurd. Try it. Give the tyro either end of the boat he likes give him a cast of ally flies he may fancy, or even a cast similar to those which a crack may be using and if he catches one for every three the other has, he may consider himself very lucky. Of course there are lochs where the fish are not abundant, and a beginner may come across as many as an older fisher but we speak of lochs where there are fish to be caught, and where each has a fair chance. Again, it is said that the boatman has as much to do with catching trout in a loch as the angler. Well, we dont deny that. In an untried loch it is necessary to have the guidance of a good boatman but the same argument holds good as to stream-fishing...
