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."
