+PREFACE.
+
+Few men who have written books have been able to win so large a share of
+the personal affection of their readers as honest Izaak Walton has done,
+and few books are laid down with so genuine a feeling of regret as the
+"Complete Angler" certainly is, that they are no longer. "One of the
+gentlest and tenderest spirits of the seventeenth century," we all know
+his dear old face, with its cheerful, happy, serene look, and we should
+all have liked to accompany him on one of those angling excursions from
+Tottenham High Cross, and to have listened to the quaint, garrulous,
+sportive talk, the outcome of a religion which was like his homely garb,
+not too good for every-day wear. We see him, now diligent in his business,
+now commemorating the virtues of that cluster of scholars and churchmen
+with whose friendship he was favoured in youth, and teaching his young
+brother-in-law, Thomas Ken, to walk in their saintly footsteps,--now
+busy with his rod and line, or walking and talking with a friend, staying
+now and then to quaff an honest glass at a wayside ale-house--leading a
+simple, cheerful, blameless life
+
+   "Thro' near a century of pleasant years."[1]
+
+We have said that the reader regrets that Walton should have left so
+little behind him: his "Angler" and his Lives are all that is known to
+most. But we are now enabled to present those who love his memory with
+a collection of fugitive pieces, in verse and prose, extending in date
+of composition over a period of fifty years,--beginning with the Elegy
+on Donne, in 1633, and terminating only with his death in 1683. All these,
+however unambitious, are more or less characteristic of the man, and
+impregnated with the same spirit of genial piety that distinguishes the
+two well-known books to which they form a supplement.
+
+Walton's devotion to literature must have begun at an early age; for in
+a little poem, entitled _The Love of Amos and Laura_, published in 1619,
+when he was only twenty-six, and attributed variously to Samuel Purchas,
+author of "The Pilgrims," and to Samuel Page, we find the following
+dedication to him:--
+
+    "TO MY APPROVED AND MUCH RESPECTED FRIEND, IZ. WA.
+
+    "To thee, thou more then thrice beloved friend,
+    I too unworthy of so great a blisse:
+    These harsh-tun'd lines I here to thee commend,
+    Thou being cause it is now as it is:
+      For hadst thou held thy tongue, by silence might
+      These have beene buried in obliuious night.
+
+    "If they were pleasing, I would call them thine,
+    And disauow my title to the verse:
+    But being bad, I needes must call them mine.
+    No ill thing can be cloathed in thy verse.
+      Accept them then, and where I have offended,
+      Rase thou it out, and let it be amended.
+
+                                              "S.P." [2]
+
+What poems Walton wrote in his youth, we have now no means of knowing; it
+has not been discovered that any have been printed, unless we adopt the
+theory advocated by Mr. Singer,[3] and by a writer in the "Retrospective
+Review,"[4] that the poem of _Thealma and Clearchus_, which he published
+in the last year of his life, as a posthumous fragment of his relation
+John Chalkhill, was really a juvenile work of his own. Some plausibility
+is lent to this notion by the fact that Walton speaks of the author with
+so much reticence and reserve in his preface to the volume, and also that
+in introducing two of Chalkhill's songs into the "Complete Angler," he
+does not bestow on them the customary words of commendation. This theory
+has been rebutted by others, who assert that Walton was of too truthful
+and guileless a nature to resort to such an artifice. We confess that we
+are unable to see anything dishonest in the adoption, as a pseudonym, of
+the name of a deceased friend, or anything more than Walton appears to
+have done on another occasion when he published his two letters on "Love
+and Truth." It is certain, however, that a family of Chalkhills existed,
+with whom Walton was closely connected by his marriage with the sister of
+Bishop Ken. But that an "acquaintant and friend of Edmund Spenser,"
+capable of writing such a poem as _Thealma and Clearchus_, should have
+kept his talents so concealed, that in an age of commendatory verses no
+slightest contemporary record of him exists--is, to say the least,
+extraordinary. There are cogent arguments then on both sides of the
+question, and there is very little positive proof on either: so we must
+be content to leave the matter in some doubt and obscurity.
+
+The first production to which our author attached the well-known
+signature of "Iz. Wa." was an Elegy on the Death of Dr. Donne, the Dean
+of St. Paul's, prefixed to a collection of Donne's Poems. Walton was then
+forty years of age. From this time forward we find him more or less
+engaged, at not very long intervals, on literary labours, till the very
+year of his death.
+
+The care which Walton spent on his productions seems to have been very
+great. He wrote and re-wrote, corrected, amended, rescinded, and added.
+This very poem--the Elegy on Donne--he completely remodelled in his old
+age, when he inserted it in the collection of his Lives. But we have
+thought it well to give the original version here as a literary curiosity,
+and the first work of his that has come down to us. The original Lives
+themselves--especially those of Wotton and Donne--were mere sketches of
+what they are in their present enlarged form.
+
+Walton had the good fortune to be thrown very early in life into the
+society and intimacy of men who were his superiors in rank and education.
+But he had enough of culture, joined to his inherent reverence of mind,
+to appreciate and understand all that they had and he wanted.
+
+The preface to Sir John Skeffington's _Heroe of Lorenzo_ had for two
+centuries lain forgotten, and escaped the notice of Walton's biographers,
+till in 1852 it was discovered by Dr. Bliss of Oxford, and communicated by
+him to the late William Pickering.
+
+The original Spanish work was first published in 1630. The author's real
+name was not Lorenzo, but Balthazar Gracian, a Jesuit of Aragon, who
+flourished during the first half of the seventeenth century, when the
+cultivated style took possession of Spanish prose, and rose to its
+greatest consideration.[5] It is a collection of short, wise apothegms
+and maxims for the conduct of life, sometimes illustrated by stories of
+valour, or prowess, or magnanimity, of the old Castilian heroes who figure
+in "Count Lucanor." The book, though now no longer read, must have been
+very popular at one time, for there exist two or three later English
+versions of it, without, however, the nervous concentration of style and
+idiomatic diction that characterize the translation sent forth to the
+world under Walton's auspices.
+
+The two Letters published in 1680 under the title of Love and Truth,[6]
+were written respectively in the years 1668 and 1679. The evidence of
+their authorship is twofold, and we think quite conclusive. In one of the
+very few copies known to exist, and now in the library of Emanuel College,
+Cambridge, its original possessor, Archbishop Sancroft, has written:--"Is.
+Walton's 2 letters conc. ye Distemp's of ye Times, 1680," and Dr. Zouch
+appended to his reprint of the tract[7] a number of parallel passages
+from other acknowledged writings of Walton, of themselves almost
+sufficient to fix the question on internal evidence alone.
+
+In the British Museum copy of this tract is the following note on one of
+the fly-leaves in the autograph of the late William Pickering:--
+
+  "The present is the only copy I have met with after twenty years'
+  search, excepting the one in Emanuel College, Cambridge. W. Pickering."
+
+The copy described above [_i.e._, the Emanuel College copy] appears to
+be the same edition as the present [that now in the British Museum], but
+has the following variation. After the title-page is printed
+
+                    The Author to the Stationer
+
+"Mr. Brome," &c., and the Epistle ends with "Your friend," without the
+N.N. which is found in this copy. But what is more remarkable, the printed
+word Author is run through, and corrected with a pen, and over it written
+_Publisher_, which is evidently in the handwriting of Walton. So Mr.
+Pickering further certifies.
+
+The following allusion towards the bottom of p. 37 confirms the idea of
+Walton's authorship. Speaking of Hugh Peters and John Lilbourn, the writer
+says:--"Their turbulent lives and uncomfortable deaths are not I hope yet
+worn out of the memory of many. He that compares them with the holy life
+and happy death of Mr. George Herbert, as it is plainly and _I hope truly_
+writ by Mr. Isaac Walton, may in it find a perfect pattern for an humble
+and devout Christian to imitate," &c.
+
+The following are the chief parallel passages in this pamphlet and in
+Walton's other writings, as indicated by Zouch:--
+
+
+ _Second Letter_, _p. 19._                 _Life of George Herbert._
+
+I wish as heartily as you                 Mr. George Herbert having
+do that all such Clergy-mens              changed his sword and
+Wives as have silk Cloaths                silk clothes into a canonical
+be-daubed with Lace, and                  coat, thus warned Mrs. Herbert
+their heads hanged about                  against this egregious folly
+with painted Ribands, were                of _striving for precedency_:--
+enjoyned Penance for their                "You are now a minister's
+pride: And their Husbands                 wife, and must now so far forget
+punisht for being so tame, or             your father's house, as not
+so lovingly-simple, as to suffer          to claim a precedence of any
+them; for, by such Cloaths,               of your parishioners," &c.
+they proclaim their own Ambition,
+and their Husbands folly.
+
+And I say the like, concerning
+their _striving for Precedency_.
+
+
+       _P. 20._                            _Life of George Herbert._
+
+And, I confess also, what                 One cure for the wickedness
+you say of a Clergy-mans                  of the times would be,
+bidding _to fast_ on the Eves of          for the clergy themselves
+Holy-days, in Lent, and the               to keep the Ember-weeks
+_Ember Weeks_: And I wish                 strictly, &c.
+those biddings were forborn,
+or better practised by themselves.
+
+
+       _P. 20._                            _Life of George Herbert._
+
+And, I wish as heartily as                Those ministers that huddled
+you can, that they would not              up the church prayers
+only read, but pray, the                  without a visible reverence
+Common Prayer; and not                    and affection: namely, such
+huddle it up so fast (as too              as semed to say the Lord's
+many do) by getting into a                Prayer or collect in a breath.
+middle of a second Collect,
+before a devout Hearer can
+say Amen to the first.

+
+And now, having unbowelled                But since I had thus adventured
+my very soul thus                         to unbowel myself,
+freely to you, &c.                        and to lay open the very inmost
+                                          thoughts of my heart.

+Those _Bishops and Martyrs_               It was the advice of Sir
+that assisted in this Reformation,        Henry Wotton, "Take heed
+did not (as Sir _Henry Wotton_            of thinking the farther you go
+said wisely) think _the farther_          from the Church of Rome,
+they went from the Church of Rome,        the nearer you are to God."
+the nearer they got to heaven.

+
+To the present Editor the collection and annotation of these Remains has
+been a most welcome labour of love. Some of his oldest and most cherished
+memories connect themselves with the author of the "Complete Angler." That
+book was one of the first that he ever read with real and genuine delight;
+and even before reading days commenced, in the earliest dawn of memory,
+the place where Walton had cut his familiar signature of "Iz. Wa." on
+Chaucer's tomb in Westminster Abbey, was pointed out to him often by a
+kindred spirit now here no more. The name of Walton will also be found
+enshrined in the earliest prose production[8] to which the Editor
+prefixed his own name.

+
+_An Elegie upon_ DR. DONNE.
+
+  Our _Donne_ is dead; England should mourne, may say
+  We had a man where language chose to stay
+  And shew her gracefull power.[1] I would not praise
+  That and his vast wit (which in these vaine dayes
+  Make many proud) but, as they serv'd to unlock
+  That Cabinet, his minde: where such a stock
+  Of knowledge was repos'd, as all lament
+  (Or should) this generall cause of discontent.
+  And I rejoyce I am not so severe,
+  But (as I write a line) to weepe a teare
+  For his decease; Such sad extremities
+  May make such men as I write Elegies.
+    And wonder not; for, when a generall losse
+  Falls on a nation, and they slight the crosse,
+  God hath rais'd Prophets to awaken them
+  From stupifaction; witnesse my milde pen,
+  Not us'd to upbraid the world, though now it must
+  Freely and boldly, for, the cause is just.
+    Dull age, Oh I would spare thee, but th'art worse,
+  Thou art not onely dull, but hast a curse
+  Of black ingratitude; if not, couldst thou
+  Part with _miraculous Donne_, and make no vow
+  For thee, and thine, successively to pay
+  A sad remembrance to his dying day?
+    Did his youth scatter _Poetry_, wherein
+  Was all Philosophy? was every sinne,
+  Character'd in his _Satyrs_? Made so foule
+  That some have fear'd their shapes, and kept their soule
+  Safer by reading verse? Did he give _dayes_
+  Past marble monuments, to those, whose praise
+  He would perpetuate? Did he (I feare
+  The dull will doubt:) these at his twentieth year?
+    But, more matur'd; Did his full soule conceive,
+  And in harmonious-holy-numbers weave
+  A [2]_Crown of sacred sonnets_, fit to adorne
+  A dying Martyrs brow: or, to be worne
+  On that blest head of _Mary Magdalen_,
+  After she wip'd Christs feet, but not till then?
+  Did hee (fit for such penitents as shee
+  And he to use) leave us a _Litany_,
+  Which all devout men love, and sure, it shall,
+  As times grow better, grow more classicall?
+  Did he write _Hymnes_, for piety, for wit,[3]
+  Equall to those, great grave _Prudentius_ writ?
+  Spake he all _Languages_? knew he all Lawes?
+  The grounds and use of _Physick_; but because
+  'Twas mercenary, wav'd it? Went to see
+  That blessed place of _Christs nativity_?
+  Did he returne and preach him? preach him so
+  As since S. _Paul_ none did, none could? Those know,
+  (Such as were blest to heare him) this is truth.[4]
+  Did he confirm thy aged?[5] convert thy youth?
+  Did he these wonders? And is this deare losse
+  Mourn'd by so few? (few for so great a crosse.)
+    But sure the silent are ambitious all
+  To be Close Mourners at his Funerall;
+  If not; In common pitty they forbare
+  By repetitions to renew our care;
+  Or, knowing, griefe conceiv'd, conceal'd, consumes
+  Man irreparably, (as poyson'd fumes
+  Doe waste the braine) make silence a safe way,
+  To'inlarge the Soule from these walls, mud and clay,
+  (Materials of this body) to remaine
+  With _Donne_ in heaven, where no promiscuous pain
+  Lessens the joy we have, for, with _him_, all
+  Are satisfy'd with _joyes essentiall_.
+    Dwell on this joy my thoughts; oh, doe not call[6]
+  Griefe back, by thinking of his Funerall;
+  Forget hee lov'd mee; Waste not my sad yeares;
+  (Which hast to _Davids_ seventy,) fill'd with feares
+  And sorrow for his death; Forget his parts,
+  Which finde a living grave in good mens hearts;
+  And, (for, my first is dayly payd for sinne)
+  Forget to pay my second sigh for him:
+  Forget his powerfull preaching; and forget
+  I am his _Convert_. Oh my frailty! let
+  My flesh be no more heard, it will obtrude
+  This lethargy: so should my gratitude,
+  My flowes[7] of gratitude should so be broke;
+  Which can no more be, than _Donnes_ vertues spoke

+  Write no _Encomium_, but this _Elegie_,[8]
+  Which, as a free-will-offring, I here give
+  Fame, and the world, and parting with it grieve
+  I want abilities, fit to set forth
+  A monument, great, as Donnes matchlesse worth.

+
+
+
+_To the Reader._
+
+READER,
+Though the Authour had some years before his lamented death, compos'd,
+review'd, and corrected these Eglogues; yet, he left no Epistle to the
+Reader, but onely a Title, and a blanke leafe for that purpose.
+
+Whether he meant some Allegoricall exposition of the Shepheards names, or
+their Eglogues, is doubtfull: but 'tis certain, that as they are, they
+appear a perfect pattern of the Authour; whose person, and minde, were
+both lovely, and his conversation such as distill'd pleasure, knowledge,
+and vertue, into his friends and acquaintance.
+
+'Tis confest, these Eglogues are not so wholly divine as many of his
+publisht Meditations, which speak _his affections to be set upon things
+that are above_, and yet even such men have their intermitted howres, and
+(as their company gives occasion) commixtures of heavenly and earthly
+thoughts.
+
+You are therefore requested to fancy him cast by fortune into the company
+of some yet unknown Shepheards: and you have a liberty to beleeve 'twas
+by this following accident.
+
+"He in a Sommers morning (about that howre when the great eye of Heaven
+first opens it selfe to give light to us mortals) walking a gentle pace
+towards a Brook (whose Spring-head was not far distant from his peacefull
+habitation) fitted with Angle, Lines, and Flyes: Flyes proper for that
+season (being the fruitfull Month of _May_;) intending all diligence to
+beguile the timorous Trout, (with which that watry element abounded)
+observ'd a more then common concourse of Shepheards, all bending their
+unwearied steps towards a pleasant Meadow within his present prospect,
+and had his eyes made more happy to behold the two fair Shepheardesses
+_Amaryllis_ and _Aminta_ strewing the foot-paths with Lillies, and
+Ladysmocks, so newly gathered by their fair hands, that they yet smelt
+more sweet then the morning, and immediately met (attended with _Clora
+Clorinda_, and many other Wood-nymphs) the fair and vertuous _Parthenia_:
+who after a courteous salutation and inquiry of his intended Journey,
+told him the neighbour-Shepheards of that part of Arcadia had dedicated
+that day to be kept holy to the honour of their great God _Pan_; and,
+that they had designed her Mistresse of a Love-feast, which was to be
+kept that present day, in an Arbour built that morning, for that purpose;
+she told him also, that _Orpheus_ would bee there, and bring his Harp,
+_Pan_ his Pipe, and _Titerus_ his Oaten-reed, to make musick at this
+feast; shee therefore perswaded him, not to lose, but change that dayes
+pleasure; before he could return an answer they were unawares entred into
+a living mooving Lane, made of Shepheard and Pilgrimes; who had that
+morning measured many miles to be eye-witnesses of that days pleasure;
+this Lane led them into a large Arbour, whose wals were made of the
+yeelding Willow, and smooth Beech boughs: and covered over with Sycamore
+leaves, and Honysuccles."
+
+I might now tell in what manner (after her first entrance into this Arbour)
+_Philoclea_ (_Philoclea_ the fair _Arcadian_ Shepheardesse) crown'd her
+Temples with a Garland, with what flowers, and by whom 'twas made; I might
+tell what guests (besides _Astrea_ and _Adonis_) were at this feast; and
+who (beside _Mercury_) waited at the Table, this I might tell: but may not,
+cannot expresse what musick the Gods and Wood-nymphs made within; and the
+Linits, Larks, and Nightingales about this Arbour, during this holy day:
+which began in harmlesse mirth, and (for _Bacchus_ and his gang were
+absent) ended in love and peace, which _Pan_ (for he onely can doe it)
+continue in _Arcadia, and restore to the disturbed Island of_ Britannia,
+_and grant that each honest Shepheard may again sit under his own Vine and
+Fig-tree, and feed his own flock, and with love enjoy the fruits of peace,
+and be more thankfull._
+
+Reader, at this time and place, the Authour contracted a friendship with
+certain single-hearted Shepheards: with whom (as he return'd from his
+River-recreations) he often rested himselfe, and whilest in the calm
+evening their flocks fed about them, heard that discourse, which (with the
+Shepheards names) is presented in these Eglogues.

+                HEROE OF LORENZO.

+and James Allestrye at the Bell in St Pauls Church-yard. 1652.]
+
+
+
+_Let this be told the Reader_,
+
+That Sir _John Skeffington_ (one of his late Majesties servants, and a
+stranger to no language of _Christendom_) did about 40 years now past,
+bring this Hero out of Spain into England.
+
+There they two kept company together 'till about 12 months now past: and
+then, in a retyrement of that learned knights (by reason of a sequestration
+for his masters cause) a friend coming to visit him, they fell accidentally
+into a discourse of the _wit_ and _galantry_ of the _Spanish Nation_.
+
+That discourse occasioned an example or two, to be brought out of this
+_Hero_: and, those examples (with Sir _John's_ choice language and
+illustration) were so relisht by his friend (a stranger to the _Spanish
+tongue_) that he became restles 'till he got a promise from Sir _John_
+to translate the whole, which he did in a few weeks; and so long as that
+imployment lasted it proved an excellent diversion from his many sad
+thoughts; But he hath now chang'd that Condition, to be possest of that
+place into which sadnesse is not capable of entrance.
+
+And his absence from this world hath occasion'd mee (who was one of those
+few that he gave leave to know him, for he was a retyr'd man) to tell the
+Reader that I heard him say, he had not made the _English_ so short, or
+few words, as the originall; because in that, the Author had exprest
+himself so enigmatically, that though he indevour'd to translate it
+plainly; yet, he thought it was not made comprehensible enough for common
+Readers, therefore he declar'd to me, that he intended to make it so by
+a coment on the margent; which he had begun, but (be it spoke with sorrow)
+he and those thoughts are now buried in the silent Grave,[1] and my self,
+with those very many that lov'd him, left to lament that losse.

+
+
+
+_To My Noble & honoured Friend Sir Robert Holt of Afton, in the County of
+Warwick, Baronet._
+
+Sir,
+
+When this relation of the life of Doctor Donne was first made publick, it
+had besides the approbation of our late learned & eloquent King, a
+conjunction with the Authors most excellent Sermons to support it; and
+thus it lay some time fortified against prejudice; and those passions that
+are by busie and malicious men too freely vented against the dead.
+
+And yet, now, after almost twenty yeares, when though the memory of Dr.
+Donne himself, must not, cannot die, so long as men speak English; yet
+when I thought Time had made this relation of him so like my self, as to
+become useless to the world, and content to be forgotten; I find that a
+retreat into a defired privacy, will not be afforded; for the Printers
+will again expose it and me to publick exceptions; and without those
+supports, which we first had and needed, and in an Age too, in which
+Truth & Innocence have not beene able to defend themselves from worse then
+severe censures.
+
+This I foresaw, and Nature teaching me selfe-preservation, and my long
+experience of your abilities assuring me that in you it may in found:[1]
+to you, Sir, do I make mine addreffes for an umbrage and protection: and
+I make it with so much humble boldnesse, as to say 'twere degenerous in
+you not to afford it.
+
+For, Sir,
+
+Dr. Donne was so much a part of yourself, as to be incorporated into your
+Family, by so noble a friendship, that I may say there was a marriage of
+fouls betwixt him and your[2] reverend Grandfather, who in his life was an
+Angel of our once glorious Church, and now no common Star in heaven.
+
+And Dr. Donne's love died not with him, but was doubled upon his Heire,
+your beloved Uncle the Bishop of [3] Chichester, that lives in this
+froward generation, to be an ornament to his Calling. And this affection
+to him was by Dr. D. so testified in his life, that he then trusted him
+with the very secrets of his soul; & at his death, with what was dearest
+to him, even his fame, estate, & children.
+
+And you have yet a further title to what was Dr. Donne's, by that dear
+affection & friendship that was betwixt him and your parents, by which
+he entailed a love upon yourself, even in your infancy, which was
+encreased by the early testimonies of your growing merits, and by them
+continued, till D. _Donne_ put on immortality; and so this mortall was
+turned into a love that cannot die.
+
+And Sir, 'twas pity he was lost to you in your minority, before you had
+attained a judgement to put a true value upon the living beauties and
+elegancies of his conversation; and pitty too, that so much of them as
+were capable of such an expression, were not drawn by the pensil of a
+_Tytian_ or a _Tentoret_, by a pen equall and more lasting then their art;
+for his life ought to be the example of more then that age in which he
+died. And yet this copy, though very much, indeed too much short of the
+Originall, will present you with some features not unlike your dead friend,
+and with fewer blemishes and more ornaments than when 'twas first made
+publique: which creates a contentment to my selfe, because it is the
+more worthy of him, and because I may with more civility intitle you to
+it.
+
+And in this designe of doing so, I have not a thought of what is pretended
+in most Dedications, _a Commutation for Courtesies_: no indeed Sir, I put
+no such value upon this trifle; for your owning it will rather increase my
+Obligations. But my desire is, that into whose hands soever this shall
+fall, it may to them be a testimony of my gratitude to your self and
+Family, who descended to such a degree of humility as to admit me into
+their friendship in the dayes of my youth; and notwithstanding my many
+infirmities, have continued me in it till I am become gray-headed; and as
+Time has added to my yeares, have still increased and multiplied their
+favours.
+
+This, Sir, is the intent of this Dedication: and having made the
+declaration of it thus publick, I shall conclude it with commending them
+and you to Gods deare love.
+
+I remain, Sir, what your many merits have made me to be,
+        The humblest of your Servants,
+                                    ISAAC WALTON.
+
+
+
+_To the Reader._
+
+My desire is to inform and assure you, that shall become my Reader, that
+in that part of this following discourse, which is onely narration, I
+either speak my own knowledge, or from the testimony of such as dare do
+any thing, rather than speak an untruth. And for that part of it which is
+my own observation or opinion, if I had a power I would not use it to
+force any mans assent, but leave him a liberty to disbelieve what his own
+reason inclines him to.
+
+Next, I am to inform you, that whereas Dr. Donne's life was formerly
+printed with his Sermons, and then had the same Preface or Introduction
+to it; I have not omitted it now, because I have no such confidence in
+what I have done, as to appear without an apology for my undertaking it.
+
+I have said all when I have wished happinesse to my Reader.

+
+
+
+_To the Right Honourable_ PHILIP _Earl of Chesterfield, Lord Stanhop of
+Shelford._
+
+MY LORD,
+
+I have conceived many Reasons, why I ought in Justice to Dedicate these
+Reliques of Your Great Uncle, Sir Henry Wotton, to Your Lordship; some
+of which are, that both Your Grand-mother and Mother had a double Right
+to them by a Dedication when first made Publick; as also, for their
+assisting me then, and since, with many Material Informations for the
+Writing his Life; and for giving me many of the Letters that have fallen
+from his curious Pen: so that they being now dead, these Reliques descend
+to You, as Heir to them, and the Inheritor of the memorable Bocton Palace,
+the Place of his Birth, where so many of the Ancient, and Prudent, and
+Valiant Family of the Wottons lie now Buried; whose remarkable Monuments
+You have lately Beautified, and to them added so many of so great Worth,
+as hath made it appear, that at the Erecting and Adorning them, You were
+above the thought of Charge, that they might, if possible, (for 'twas no
+easie undertaking) hold some proportion with the Merits of Your Ancestors.
+
+My Lord, These are a part of many more Reasons that have inclin'd me to
+this Dedication; and these, with the Example of a Liberty that is not
+given, but now too usually taken by many Scriblers, to make trifling
+Dedications, might have begot a boldness in some Men of as mean as my
+mean Abilities to have undertaken this. But indeed, my Lord, though I was
+ambitious enough of undertaking it; yet, as Sir Henry Wotton hath said
+in a Piece of his own Character, _That he was condemn'd by Nature to a
+bashfulness in making Requests_: so I find myself (pardon the Parallel)
+so like him in this, that if I had not had more Reasons then I have yet
+exprest, these alone had not been powerful enough to have created a
+Confidence in me to have attempted it. Two of my unexprest Reasons are,
+(_give me leave to tell them to Your Lordship and the World_) that Sir
+Henry Wotton, whose many Merits made him an Ornament even to Your Family,
+was yet so humble, as to acknowledge me to be his Friend; and died in a
+belief that I was so: since which time, I have made him the best return
+of my Gratitude for his Condescention, that I have been able to express,
+or he capable of receiving: and, am pleased with my self for so doing.
+
+My other Reason of this boldness, is, an incouragement (_very like a
+command_) from Your worthy Cousin, and my Friend, _Mr. Charles Cotton_, who
+hath assured me, that You are such a Lover of the Memory of Your Generous
+Unkle, Sir Henry Wotton, that if there were no other Reason then my
+endeavors to preserve it, yet, that that alone would secure this
+Dedication from being unacceptable.
+
+I wish, that nor he, nor I be mistaken; and that I were able to make You
+a more Worthy Present.
+    My Lord, I am and will be
+        Your Humble and most
+            Affectionate Servant,
+                               IZAAK WALTON.

+
+M'R. MARRIOTT,
+
+I have received Bentevolio, and in it M'r. Her's. life; I thank you for
+both. I have since I saw you received from M'r. Milington so much of M'r.
+Hales his life as M'r. Faringdon had writ; and have made many inquiries
+concerning him of many that knew him, namely of M'rs. Powny, of Windsor,
+(at whose house he died), and as I have heard, so have set them down, that
+my memory might not lose them. M'r. Mountague did at my being in Windsor
+promise me to summon his memory, and set down what he knew of him. This I
+desired him to do at his best leisure, and write it down, and he that knew
+him and all his affairs best of any man is like to do it very well,
+because I think he will do it affectionately, so that if M'r. Fulman make
+his queries concerning that part of his life spent in Oxford, he will
+have many, and good, I mean true informations from M'r. Faringdon, till
+he came thither, and by me and my means since he came to Eton.
+
+This I write that you may inform M'r. Fulman of it, and I pray let him
+know I will not yet give over my queries; and let him know that I hope to
+meet him and the Parliament in health and in London in October, and then
+and there deliver up my collections to him. In the mean time I wish him
+and you health; and pray let him know it either by your writing to him,
+or sending him this of mine.
+
+    God keep us all in his favour,
+        his and your friend to serve you,

+
+
+
+_The Preface._
+
+The Reader will find in this Book, what the Title declares, A Pastoral
+History, in smooth and easie Verse; and will in it find many Hopes and
+Fears finely painted, and feelingly express'd. And he will find the first
+so often disappointed, when fullest of desire and expectation; and the
+later, so often, so strangely, and so unexpectedly reliev'd, by an
+unforeseen Providence, as may beget in him wonder and amazement.
+
+And the Reader will here also meet with Passions heightned by easie and
+fit descriptions of Joy and Sorrow; and find also such various events
+and rewards of innocent Truth and undissembled Honesty, as is like to
+leave in him (if he be a good natur'd Reader) more sympathizing and
+virtuous Impressions, than ten times so much time spent in impertinent,
+critical, and needless Disputes about Religion: and I heartily wish it may
+do so.
+
+And, I have also this truth to say of the Author, that he was in his time
+a man generally known, and as well belov'd; for he was humble, and obliging
+in his behaviour, a Gentleman, a Scholar, very innocent and prudent: and
+indeed his whole life was useful, quiet, and virtuous. God send the Story
+may meet with, or make all Readers like him.

+
+
+
+_ffor y'r friends q'ue this._
+
+I only knew Ben Jonson: But my Lord of Winton knew him very well; and
+says, he was in the 6th, that is, the uppermost fforme in Westminster
+scole, at which time his father dyed, and his mother married a brickelayer,
+who made him (much against his will) help him in his trade; but in a short
+time, his scolemaister, M'r. Camden, got him a better imployment, which
+was to atend or acompany a son of Sir Walter Rauley's in his travills.
+Within a short time after their return, they parted (I think not in cole
+bloud) and with a love sutable to what they had in their travilles (not
+to be commended). And then Ben began to set up for himself in the trade
+by which he got his subsistance and fame, of which I need not give any
+account. He got in time to have a 100L a yeare from the king, also a
+pension from the cittie, and the like from many of the nobilitie and some
+of the gentry, w'ch was well pay'd, for love or fere of his railing in
+verse, or prose, or boeth. My lord told me, he told him he was (in his
+long retyrement and sickness, when he saw him, which was often) much
+afflickted, that hee had profained the scripture in his playes, and
+lamented it with horror: yet that, at that time of his long retyrement,
+his pension (so much as came in) was giuen to a woman that gouern'd him
+(with whome he liu'd and dyed near the Abie in Westminster); and that
+nether he nor she tooke too much care for next weike: and wood be sure
+not to want wine: of w'ch he usually tooke too much before he went to
+bed, if not oftener and soner. My lord tells me, he knowes not, but
+thinks he was born in Westminster. The question may be put to Mr. Wood
+very easily upon what grounds he is positive as to his being born their;
+he is a friendly man, and will resolve it. So much for braue Ben. You will
+not think the rest so tedyous as I doe this.
+
+ffor y'r 2 and 3 q'ue of Mr. Hill, and Bilingsley, I do neither know nor
+can learn any thing worth teling you.
+
+for y'r two remaining q'ue of Mr. Warner, and Mr. Harriott this:
+
+Mr. Warner did long and constantly lodg nere the water-stares, or market,
+in Woolstable. Woolstable is a place not far from Charing-Crosse, and
+nerer to Northumberland-house. My lord of Winchester tells me, he knew
+him, and that he sayde, he first found out the cerculation of the blood,
+and discover'd it to Dr. Haruie (who said that 'twas he (himselfe) that
+found it) for which he is so memorally famose. Warner had a pension of 40l.
+a yeare from that Earle of Northumberland that lay so long a prisner in
+the Towre, and som allowance from Sir Tho. Aylesbury, and with whom he
+usually spent his sumer in Windsor Park, and was welcom, for he was
+harmles and quet. His winter was spent at the Woolstable, where he dyed
+in the time of the parlement of 1640, of which or whome, he was no louer.
+
+Mr. Herriott, my lord tells me, he knew also: That he was a more gentile
+man than Warner. That he had 120L a yeare pension from the said Earle
+(who was a louer of their studyes), and his lodgings in Syon-house, where
+he thinks, or believes, he dyed.
+
+This is all I know or can learne for your friend; which I wish may be
+worth the time and trouble of reading it.

+of] Cristianity does at this time, seime to be subdevided into papist and
+protestant, I take it to be at least convenient to declare my beleife to
+be in all poynts of faith, as the Church of England now professeth. And
+this I doe the rather, because of a very long and very trew friendmip
+with some of the Roman Church.
+
+And for my worldly estate, (which I have nether got by falshood or
+flattery or the extreme crewelty of the law of this nation,) I doe hereby
+give and bequeth it as followeth.--First I give my son-in-law Doc'r.
+Hawkins and to his Wife, to them I give all my tytell and right of or in
+a part of a howse and mop in Pater-noster-rowe in London: which I hold by
+lease from the Lord Bishop of London for about 50 years to come and I
+doe also give to them all my right and tytell of or to a howse in
+Chansery-lane, London; where in M'rs. Greinwood now dwelleth, in which is
+now about 16 years to come. I give these two leases to them, they saving
+my executor from all damage concerning the same. (And I doe also give to
+my saide dafter all my books this day at Winchester and Droxford: and
+what ever ells I can call mine their, except a trunk of linen w'ch I give
+my son Izaak Walton, but if he doe not marry, or use the saide linen
+himselfe, then I give the same to my grand-doughter Anne Hawkins).
+
+And I give to my son Izaak, all my right and tytell to a lease of
+Norington farme, which I hold from the lord B'p. of Winton.
+
+And I doe also give him all my right and tytell to a farme or land near
+to Stafford: which I bought of M'r. Walter Noell: I say, I give it to him
+and [his] heares for ever, but upon the condition following. Namely--If
+my sone shall not marry before he shall be of the age of forty and one
+yeare; or being marryed shall dye before the saide age and leve noe son
+to inherit the saide farme or land: or if his son [or sonns] shall not
+live to ataine the age of twentie and one yeare, to dispose otherwayes of
+it, then I give the saide farme or land to the towne or corperation of
+Stafford (in which I was borne,) for the good and benifit of some of the
+saide towne, as I shall direct and as followeth, but first note, that it
+is at this presant time rented for 21li. 10s. a yeare (and is like to
+hold the said rent, if care be taken to keipe the barne and howsing in
+repaire) and I wood have and doe give ten pownd of the saide rent, to
+binde out yearely two boyes, the sons of honest and pore parents to be
+apprentices to som tradesmen or handy-craftmen, to the intent the saide
+boyes [may] the better afterward get their owne living.--And I doe also
+give five pownd yearly, out of the said rent to be given to some
+meade-servant, that hath atain'd the age of twenty and [one] yeare (not
+les), and dwelt long in one servis, or to som honeft pore man's daughter,
+that hath atain'd to that age, to [be] paide her, at or on the day of her
+marriage.
+
+And this being done, my will is, that what rent shall remaine of the saide
+farme or land, shall be disposed of as followeth.
+
+First I doe give twenty shillings yearely, to be spent by the maior of
+Stafford and those that shall colect the said rent: and dispose of it as
+I have and shall hereafter direct. And that what mony or rent shail
+remaine undisposed offe shall be imployed to buie coles for some pore
+people, that shall most neide them in the said towne; the saide coles to
+be delivered the last weike in Janewary, or in every first weike in
+Febrewary: I say then, because I take that time to be the hardest and
+most pinching times with pore people. And God reward those that shall doe
+this with out partialitie and with honestie and a good contience.
+
+And if the saide maior and others of the saide towne of Stafford, shall
+prove so necligent or dishonest as not to imploy the rent by me given as
+intended and exprest in this my will, (which God forbid,) then I give the
+saide rents and profits, of the saide farme or land, to the towne and
+chiefe magestrats or governers of Ecles-hall, to be disposed by them in
+such maner as I have ordered the disposall of it, by the towne of Stafford,
+the said Farme or land being nere the towne of Ecles-hall.
+
+And I give to my son-in-law Doctor Hawkins, (whome I love as my owne son)
+and to my dafter his wife, and my son Izaak to each of them a ring with
+these words or motto;--love my memory, I.W. obiet = to the Lord B'p of
+Winton a ring with this motto--a mite for a million: I.W. obiet = "And
+to the freinds hearafter named I give to each of them a ring with this
+motto--A friends farewell. I.W. obiet" = and my will is, the said rings
+be delivered within fortie dayes of my deth. and that the price or valew
+of all the saide rings shall be--l3s. 4d. a peice.
+
+I give to Doctor Hawkins Docto'r Donns Sermons; which I have hear'd
+preacht, and read with much content, to my son Izaak I give Doc'r Sibbs
+his _Soules Conflict_ and to my doughter his _Brewsed Reide_; desiring
+them to reade them so, as to be well aquanted with them, and I also give
+to her all my bookes at Winchester and Droxford, and what ever in those
+two places are or I can call mine: except a trunk of linen, which I gave
+to my son Izaak, but if he doe not live to make use of it, then I give
+the same to my grand-dafter, Anne Hawkins: And I give my dafter Doc'r
+Halls Works which be now at Farnham.
+
+To my son Izaak I give all my books, (not yet given) at Farnham Castell
+and a deske of prints and pickters; also a cabinet nere my beds head, in
+w'ch are som littell things that he will valew, tho of noe greate worth.
+
+And my will and desyre is, that he will be kind to his Ante Beacham and
+his ant Rose Ken: by alowing the first about fiftie shilling a yeare in
+or for bacon and cheise (not more), and paying 4li. a yeare toward the
+bordin of her son's dyut to M'r. John Whitehead. for his ante Ken, I desyre
+him to be kinde to her according to her necessitie and his owne abillitie.
+and I comend one of her children to breide up (as I have saide I intend
+to doe) if he shall be able to doe it as I know he will; for, they be
+good folke.
+
+I give to M'r. John Darbishire the Sermons of M'r. Antony Faringdon, or
+of do'r Sanderson, which my executor thinks fit to my servant, Thomas
+Edghill I give five pownd in mony, and all my clothes linen and wollen
+except one sute of clothes, (which I give to M'r. Holinihed, and forty
+shiling) if the saide Thomas be my servant at my deth, if not my cloths
+only.
+
+And I give my old friend M'r. Richard Marriot ten pownd in mony, to be
+paid him within . 3 . months after my deth. and I desyre my son to shew
+kindenes to him if he shall neide, and my son can spare it.
+
+And I doe hereby will and declare my son Izaak to be my sole executo'r of
+this my last will and testament; and Do'r Hawkins, to see that he performs
+it, which I doubt not but he will.
+
+I desyre my buriall may be nere the place of my deth; and free from any
+ostentation or charg, but privately: this I make to be my last will, (to
+which I only add the codicell for rings,) this 16. day of August, 1683.

+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal

+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
