Excerpt from A Treatyse of Fysshynge Wyth an AngleThe Work here reprinted is universally regarded as being the first English book on Angling, and must, therefore, ever be interesting, not only to the brethren of the gentle craft, but also to the lover of our old English literature, even though he has never cast a fly, or so much as watched a float.An excellent Bibliographical notice of the work has appeared in the Library Chronicle, from the pen of Mr. William E.A. Axon, and to it I am indebted for the following particulars.The supposed authoress was a lady named Juliana Barnes or Berners, born towards the end of the fourteenth century at Roding-Berners, in the Hundred of Dunmow, Essex. Her father was Sir James Berners, who was beheaded in 1388, as one of the evil advisers of Richard II. She is said to have been Prioress of Sopwell Nunnery in Hertfordshire, a dependancy of the Abbey of St. Albans. To this nun is attributed the "Book of St. Albans," the earliest sporting work in the language! As Mr. Axon says, "she may have gained the experience that would furnish material for her writings before she took the veil."About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
