PEARD, W. A Year of Liberty; or, Salmon Angling in Ireland from February 1 to November 1.

London: Horace Cox, 1867. Crown octavo. pp. xii, 300. Contemporary half brown morocco on marbled boards, title and author in gilt direct on spine. Ex libris with neat stamp on verso of titlepage. A very good copy. Scarce.
During many entire seasons the author, rod in hand, had rambled over the length and breadth of Ireland, seeing much and learning much, on all matters connected with his favourite sport. With the advantage of past experience, he again visited the island in 1865, pausing for a time at nearly all the first-class salmon rivers and lakes, arriving at each when in the highest order for angling. This plan often necessitated passing more than once through districts previously traversed, but as sport was the primary object of his visit, this was of little moment, for what was lost in order was more than compensated by success.
