Excerpt from An Angler's Hours

I cannot plead the urgency of friends for its production. One's friends, every man's friends, are nowadays too busy com mencing author themselves to be solicitous in the preliminaries of alien publication. With the results it is different. There is much kindly and mutual reading, there is exchange of candid opinion, and quite a fortunate number of authors would be justified in stamping John Grolier's ex cellent motto, et amicorum, on the binding of their own works. This is all passing pleasant, but it robs me of a possible excuse.
