Quarto 28cm.; original grey post-bound pictorial card wrappers housed in bespoke blue clamshell box morocco gilt-lettered spine label; 497pp.; text printed mimeograph from original typescript. Wrappers a bit foxed and slightly soiled minor wear from handling else Very Good and sound. Self-published and apparently unrecorded collection of "Facts Hints and Oddities" regarding hunting fishing and trapping compiled by Ellsworth H. Myers 1902-1989. According to the introductory text preceded by a quote from President Eisenhower these anecdotes "were published in papers from coast to coast. Some came to me from my fellow sportsman some were given to me by guides and many have been gathered over many years by the author." The opening chapter provides a state-by-state directory of whom to write to regarding fishing and hunting laws immediately followed by the bit of sagacity "When fishing for wall-eyed pike with an artificial lure strike as soon as the fish hits the lure for he will drop it immediately after he finds out it is a fake" p. 5. Subsequent chapters cover waterfowl speeds; tips on hunting rabbit woodchuck deer and elk; and "World Oddities of Nature." For example "Beavers do not eat fish although they spend most of their lives in the water. They are strictly vegetarian." Meanwhile "The Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep is a clannish animal."

1715ref. 21179London 1715. Broadsheet. 1p. plus printed docket title on verso. Disbound. Small folio. Early folds and early stab holes in left margin. Mild foxing. A rare British leaflet from the Fishmonger-Smackman Controversy of 1715. That year a bill was in motion before Parliament that would regulate various aspects of the fishing industry including fish size net use and mesh size and the importation of lobster. The latter issue ignited a significant controversy between and among British fish merchants and lobstermen with the most vocal merchants supporting a clause that would remove a ban on the sale of lobster caught by foreigners. In the present document the pro-free-trade-lobster fishmonger lobby responds to a recent leaflet by fellow fish merchants allied with the smackmen. An early example of commercial lobbying literature which first began proliferating in the lobby of the House of Commons at the time of the accession of King George I and the British general election of 1715. ESTC records five copies at the University of London Oxford the California State Library Harvard and Yale. Hanson 2122. unknown
1715ref. 21182London 1715. Broadsheet. 1 p. plus printed docket title on verso. Disbound. Small folio. Early folds and early stab holes in left margin. Mild foxing. A rare petition to Parliament relating to a current bill concerning the mesh size of fishing nets used along the coast of Great Britain. The fishing lobby here argues that the clause limiting mesh size to four inches except for use with "Herrings Pilchards Sprats and Sardenas" will prevent the catching of various larger fish and lobster and thereby ruin much of the national fishing industry. They claim that the fishmongers who support the regulation would prefer "to bring in Foreign Fish caught in Foreign Bottoms" and profit from the higher prices. A leaflet published the same year entitled An Answer to the Case of the Coasting Fishermen indicates the present document was authored by the lobsterman lobby. An early example of commercial lobbying literature which first began proliferating in the lobby of the House of Commons at the time of the accession of King George I and the British general election of 1715.
