Highlands And Islands Vol 1 Of 2

Excerpt from Highlands and Islands, Vol. 1 of 2: Being a Sequel to "Wild Sports of the West" Of a fresh-run salmon will reward the pilgrim age; and if he fill a creel - as I have done in two brief hours - will he not marvel that, in piscatoral ignorance, unhappy citizens of credit and renown waste time about Lea Bridge, and money in adjacent hostelries, where some flavour less fish, which on the Borders would be kicked away, is immortalized in a glass case; and the skeleton of a pike, which, as a capture, every cowboy in Connemara could emulate, is held out above the mantel-piece as an encouragement for Cockneys to wet their feet, by proving that marshy waters are not ungrateful, and rheuma tism shall have its reward.
