(1873) 1897 3rd edition. 8vo (140 x 220mm). Ppxxviii,435 + 16pp ads. B/w plates and illustrations. Maroon pictorial cloth gilt.
The Rod In India, being hints how to obtain sport with remarks of the natural history of fish, their culture and value, and illustrations of fish and tackle. By Henry Sullivan Thomas, Madras Civil Service, F.L.S. and F.Z.S. The third edition of one of the most important books on Indian angling. Much new material and presented in a slightly smaller format (220mm x 145mm). It's interesting to note how the angler, pictured in gilt on the upper board, has noticeably aged in comparison to the vignette on the second edition. *Several advertisement pages excised. All plates are present though a couple are loose. The text remains relatively clean. Perhaps a candidate for rebinding.
