Sir Herbert Maxwell says: " I have never detected any fallacy in
Francis’s precepts for such branches of the fisher craft as I have practiced,
neither have I handled any book which gives such succinct and trustworthy
instruction in every form of fresh-water angling . His experience was universal,
his knowledge encyclopedic."
