The Angler's Vade Mecum; or, A Compendious yet full Discourse of Angling discovering the aptest Methods and Ways, exactest Rules, properest Baits, and choicest Experiments for the catching of all manner of fresh water Fish. London: for Thomas Bassett, 1681. Small 8 o (147 x 86 mm). Title ruled in black, historiated initial. (Some running titles or catchwords trimmed or trimmed away.) Later speckled calf (spine reinforced). Provenance : J. Wright (note facing title dated Dec. 12 1723: "Collats. perfect"). FIRST EDITION, published anonymously. Chetham notes in the preface: "The author hath forborne to affix his name; not that he is ashamed to own it, but wishes the reader to regard things, more than empty names." Westwood comments favourably: "Chetham's prefaces are in Diogenes' vein, curt and caustic; he escapes from the category of manual makers, and takes rank as one of the original writers on the sport." Wing C-3788; Westwood and Satchell pp. 59-60.
