Excerpt from Book of the Black Bass I am under obligation to the Century Company for the illustrations of Landing a Double and the Still Fisher. I was desirous to use the former inasmuch as it was originally drawn to illustrate one of my articles on black bass fishing, and my friend, the late Prof. Alfred M. Mayer posed for the drawing. I also extend mv thanks to G. F. Corner for the sketch of the Old Kentucky Angler. It is as well to say that the last addition to the subject that I intended to make was the supplement More About the Black Bass; the credit is due, therefore, to The Robert Clarke Company for this new edition of my book, which has risen, phoenix-like, from the ashes of the former one.
