We hardly know whether the triumph of the ' Compleat... Angler, ' on its firft advent, in the thick of the great Roundhead and Cavalier druggie, was an incident more paradoxical in its kind, than the re-eftablifhment of the paftoral as an Englifh claffic in " The tea-cup times of hood and hoop, And when the patch was worn.
