About This Item
The inscription is to his wife, Anna Maria (1796-1880, the second daughter of William Manning MP), whom he married on 4 March 1816.
"Anderdon was an enthusiastic fisherman, and a walking tour through Dovedale, the country of Charles Cotton, one of the earliest professors of the art of angling, gave him the idea of compiling a volume on The River Dove: with some Quiet Thoughts on the Happy Practice of Angling. Printed in 1845 for private circulation and for sale two years later, it contained many anecdotes of Cotton and his country life, with advice on successful fishing" (ODNB). Westwood and Satchell p. 1; Heckscher p. 11
