[CHETHAM, James (1640-1692)]. The Angler's Vade Mecum: or, a Compendious, yet Full, Discourse of Angling. London: T. Basset and W. Brown, 1689. 8°. 2 engraved plates (a little staining and soiling). 19th-century cloth. Provenance: From the Library of John Jackson (1793-1875) of Academy Place, Warrington (bookplate).
Second edition of Chetham's Angler's Vade Mecum of which Westwood and Satchell say 'Chetham's prefaces are in Diogenes' vein, curt and caustic; he escapes from the category of manual makers, and takes rank as one of the original writers on the sport ... He is never servile, nor plagiaristic, always honest, sometimes a little surly. Pp.252-81 are dedicated to receipts for cooking the fish mentioned in this book. Wing C3790; Westwood & Satchell p.50.
