An American Edition of the Treatyse of Fysshynge : Wyth an Angle from the Boke of St. Albans (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover

Excerpt from The Treatyse of Fysshynge Myth an Angle: Attributed to Dame Juliana Berners

And I thought I would add to its treas ures: but not a copy of the old Dame's book could I find: that is, in this country. So I sent to the other side, and found that one of the original copies, printed in 1496, if I could get it at all, would cost me from $2500 to $3000: and that a copy of the Baskerville edition, of 1827, would cost $82.

Perhaps, however, critics may be found, who may render it necessary for me to state that I do not vouch for the correct ness of my transcript of the old English style and spelling, on the ground that I have read a copy of the original edition.
