Extended Edition of Ike Walton's
Famous Work in Six Volumes

From the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can.

of Frederick S. Dickson of New York,
the Thackeray photographer, and the

with biographical preface and No
tice of Cotton and His Writings, by
George w. Bethune. The illustrations
are 9s2 in number and were gathered
from total of 1900 prints. 1t is said
to be the most sumptuous copy of the
Complete Angler now in the market.
The volumes offered at Yesterdays

possession of the Empress of Russia
brought $40. The collection contains
engravings of some of the greatest
works of both modern and ancient
men. and is considered by experts to
be one of the best in the country
