A BOOK OF ESSAYS IN PROFITABLE IDLENESS

by Henry Van Dyke

"And suppose he takes nothing, yet he enjoyeth a delightful walk by

pleasant Rivers, in sweet Pastures, amongst odoriferous Flowers, which

gratifie his Senses, and delight his Mind; which Contentments induce

many (who affect not Angling) to choose those places of pleasure for

their summer Recreation and Health."

COL. ROBERT VENABLES, The Experienc'd Angler, 1662.
