Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Dutch Sea Fisheries: Their Progress, Decline and Revival, Especially in Connection With the Legislation, on Fisheries in Earlier and Later Times The following pages contain, not a complete history of Dutch sea fisheries, but merely the outlines of their history as connected with legislation. The subject is a vast one. Sea fishery has throughout history been either the greatest, or among the most considerable, of the industries of the Netherlands. Some of its branches have during three centuries and a half been regulated and organised by laws and bye-laws, and have been constantly in the minds of the country's rulers, legislators, and publicists; and the mass of material for their history is, of course, in proportion to the total of attention bestowed upon the subject in former times. To read this subject up and exhaust it would be the work of many years, and involve a thorough search of the archives of the present kingdom of the Netherlands, several of its provinces, and many of its cities; whereas the present author has only had the seven months before him which have elapsed since the subject for this prize essay was known in Holland, and has during that short period by no means been master of the whole of his time. Several minor parts of the subject have for this reason been left out of the range of research; such are the sea fisheries of the provinces of Zealand, Friesland, and Groningen, the whole of the oyster business, and the salmon, herring, and other fisheries in the river estuaries, which are very justly reckoned as sea fishery, and treated as such in official documents of the present day.
