Full title: "The Vade-Mecum of Fly-Fishing for Trout: Being a complete practical treatise on that branch of the art of angling; with plain and copious instructions for the manufacture of artificial flies. Illustrated by numerous engravings. By G.P.R. Pulman. Third edition, re-written and greatly enlarged." "The present edition may be considered as an entirely new work, so extensive are the additions and so altered is its style of publication... In the following pages... the instructions for making artificial flies, and the illustrations by which they are accompanied, will, perhaps, be recognised as the most prominent, if not the most important, of these additions."
