Produktbeschreibung
Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.
Autorenporträt
Francis Francis was born in Seaton, Devon in 1822 to Captain Morgan and Sarah Hartley, daughter of Henry Robinson Hartley, founder of the Hartley Institution. He changed his name after coming of age and inheriting property. Though trained as a civil engineer, he turned to writing and outdoor pursuits, particularly angling. In 1851 he married Mary Cole and soon dedicated his life to fishing and sporting literature. He became angling editor of The Field for over 25 years and frequently wrote about his experiences. He was deeply involved in fish culture advocacy, founding the Thames Rights Defence Association and proposing the National Fish-Culture Association. He helped introduce English trout to rivers in New Zealand and Tasmania. As naturalist director of the Brighton Aquarium, he studied fish behavior and led experiments in their culture. He served on a national commission on oyster farming from 1868 to 1870. After a stroke in 1883 and a recurrence of cancer, he died in 1886 at his home in Twickenham. He was buried there and honored with a memorial in Winchester Cathedral, inscribed with words from Izaak Walton's poetry.
