The Complete Angler

Versions of The Complete Angler

Originally published in 1653, Izaak Walton continued to add to The Compleat Angler for a quarter of a century. It was dedicated to John Offley, his most honoured friend. There was a second edition in 1655, a third in 1661 (identical with that of 1664), a fourth in 1668 and a fifth in 1676. In this last edition the thirteen chapters of the original have grown to twenty-one. A second part was also added by his loving friend and brother angler Charles Cotton.

Versions of The Complete Angler include:

• The Complete Angler, 1st edition (1653)[1]
• The Complete Angler, 5th edition (1653-1676)
