An angler's reminiscences; a record of sport, travel and adventure, with autobiography of the author . tt, E. A. Samuels, William C. Prime. (IT) 18 AN ANGLERS REMINISCENCES. Reverend John Todd, and a host innumerable, are in the ranks, all aged andvenerable; and who of them all shall take precedence? Brackett and Venning stilllive at eighty-seven and eighty-eight years, respectively, and John Burroughsvenerable. Reminiscences crowd up before me in wind-rows, like the ripening leavesof autumn, or the rubescent clouds of sunset. Brown himself is one of themost charming sportsmen, because he is such a nature worshiper. Ardent, andstill not young (indeed, he is what some youthful sportsmen would call an oldman), he could make the dreariest camp environment cheerful with firelight anda genial presence when the weather failed to brighten. Taxonomically he belongsto the guild of camera-hunters, like the still more famous George Shiras, 3d,who hunts the forests for nature study rather than for slaughter. I think thatneither of these men aspire to be classed with the mighty nimrods ,of the age,.
