To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There being nothing angular in any part of the bend, which is otherwise in the common Limerick, the strain comes on the shank a little lower down towards the turn, than immediately opposite the ' point itself, which part is made thicker and more substantial than the rest of the hook, in order to meet it ; while that portion on which you dress the fly (because there is there less strain, and, if broken, it is all held together by the gut which is whipped below) is thinner than in other hooks> an...d they are consequently no heavier altogether. 44 HOOKS. In them there are also these advanti^es ; — the point is much more beautifully sharpened than in any hook I have yet met with ; in fact, it is perfect, the barb being filed out of the solid, and not cut and raised, as in others; an^ they are so tough as never to straighten, -even with a fifty pounder ! In these two respects, O'Shaughnessy's and Sell's hooks have at all events something more than a fancied superiority. The original O'Shaughnessy is long since gathered 'to his ancestors; his present- repre- sentative is Robert O'Shaughnessy, of 18, George- street, Limerick ; Sell lives in Quay-lane, Lime- rick.
