Epigraph

I do not count the hours I spend
In wandering by the sea;
The forest is my loyal friend,
Like God it useth me:

Or on the mountain-crest sublime,
Or down the oaken glade,
O what have I to do with Time?
For this the day was made.

----Ralph Waldo Emerson

Dedication

To
My Friend and Neighbor
Grover Cleveland
Whose years of great work
as a statesman
have been cheered by days of good play
as a fisherman
this book is dedicated
with warm and deep regards

Avalon,
July 10th, 1907

First words

"A DAY OFF" said my Uncle Peter, settling down in his chair before the wood-fire, with that air of complacent obstinancy which spreads over him when he is about to confess and expound his philosophy of life, - "a day off is a day that a man takes to himself."
