Wilson for Henry Herringman, 1665.⁂ Boyle's generally upbeat work, written largely while on holiday at Stalbridge, describes how he felt and thought - as he listened to a lark singing; as he picked up a horse-shoe; as he watched boys swimming with 'bladders'; as he fished with a 'counterfeit fly'; and as he listened to a lute being tuned and then 'excellently play'd on'. A reflection entitled 'The Eating of Oysters' is often considered to have been Swift's inspiration for Gulliver's Travels.Provenance: J. C. Lynn (bookplate Bibliotheca Piscatoria Lynniana, sale of his Angling library, Sotheby's October 1959).
