This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

James Alexander Henshall was born on February 29, 1836, in Baltimore, Maryland, United States, the son of the Rev. James Gershom Henshall and Clarissa (Holt) Henshall.
James Henshall received his early education in the schools of Baltimore, New York, and Cincinnati, graduated from the Eclectic Medical Institute of Cincinnati in 1860, and pursued post-graduate studies in the Eclectic Medical College of the City of New York in 1867.
James Henshall career as a practising physician extended over thirty years, although the latter part of the period was marked by an increasing attention to angling and the publication of several books upon the subject.
In 1896 the call of the waters and woods became irresistible, and Henshall entered the service of the United States Bureau of Fisheries as superintendent of its hatchery at Bozeman, Montana. His successful work at this point was terminated in 1909 when he was transferred to the hatchery at Tupelo, Mississippi, to carry on the propagation of black bass. He was chief of the fisheries department at the Chicago exposition of 1893.
The numerous books on game fish and fishing coming from his pen were based upon an extensive experience as an angler in various parts of the United States and foreign countries. One of his fishing companions was Judge Longworth of the prominent Cincinnati family, who accompanied him on an angling tour around the world. Several technical articles based on the results of his studies are found in the Transactions oi the American Fisheries Society. More than thirty-five titles are credited to Henshall, the majority being technical articles or contributions to sportsmen’s publications. His writings reflect the gentle kindly soul of the author and express charmingly his knowledge and appreciation of the denizens of woods and waters. Failing eyesight necessitated his resignation from the government service in 1917, and he retired to his Cincinnati home to busy himself with further writing and revision of his earlier works. He died in Cincinnati.
