Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rail and the Rod: Or, Tourist-Angler's Guide to Waters and Quarters Thirty Miles Around London The facts in reference to the fish to be met with near the respective lines of railway - say for about two miles on either side - and how to catch them (the experience of more than half a century) have been condensed into the smallest space consistent with perspicuity, and the information afforded with regard to public accommodation obtained direct from the actual charges in bills and memoranda in the author's possession, and other accre dited channels. How many persons are there, besides anglers, who, when a morning proves auspicious, would devote the day to a ramble within a moderate distance of the metropolis, yet are deterred from starting forth in quest of fresh air and rational enjoyment by the natural fear that their funds may fall short ere they return home, or the expense they may incur will not be warranted by their means and thus the opportunity is often lost before they have made up their minds, or obtained - if it be possible to obtain -a guarantee that their expenses need not exceed a prudent outlay. In The Railand the Bed will, however, be seen at a glance how one or more persons, desirous of a trip of thirty miles or less down the several railroads out of London, may effectively carry out their purpose, and it will, moreover, if upon a piscatorial excursion, tell them what to provide before starting, and afford them a most bounteous choice of places to which they may go, the nature of the streams or rambles in the neighbourhood, and what the whole will cost per diem or week. In this way each railroad will have its especial tourist and piscatorial guide, and where any line does not present sufficient objects of interest to. Those for whose delectation the text is designed, two or three railways near or approximating to each other in the prescribed radius will be grouped in one part, and all the parts will be printed in a uniform style, so that they may be bound in one or more volumes.
