First sentence: Fresh- or sweet-water angling is one of the most ancient, cleanest, most engrossing, enduring, healthful, and accessible of recreations available in this world of mingled riches and poverty, pleasure and pain, of steadfast affections and changing regard; and it possesses a considerable literature, both delightful and classical, extending from before the times of Dame Juliana Berners, prioress of Sopwell nunnery, and of its patron saint Izaak Walton, down to the present day.
