He was the patriarch, the Father Izaak, of Scottish fishers, and he sleeps, according to his desire, like Scott, within hearing of the Tweed. But it is with the "young Tom Stoddart," the poet of twenty, not with the old angling sage, that we have to do. Miss Stoddart has discreetly republished only the Angling Songs of her father, the pick of them being classical in their way. Now, as Mr.
His resolution was quickened by the arrival of Colonel Stoddart in his camp, with the information that a military force from Bombay, supported by ships of war, had landed on the island of Karrack in the Persian Gulf, and with the peremptory ultimatum to the Shah that he must retire from Herat at once.
"Then come home, my dear girl, ring me up and ask for an appointment; or chance it, and let Stoddart slip you into my consulting-room between patients, and report how the prescription has worked. I never gave a better; and you need not offer me a guinea! I attend old friends gratis." Jane laughed, and gripped his hand. "Oh, boy," she said, "I believe you are right.

At the same moment Miss Oldcastle rose. "What is the matter, Judy?" she said. "Grannie wants you," said Judy. Miss Oldcastle left the room, and Judy turned to me. "How do you do, Mr Walton?" she said. "Quite well, thank you, Judy," I answered. "Your uncle admits you to his workshop, then?" "Yes, indeed. He would feel rather dull, sometimes, without me.

At about this time too were appearing the Noctes Ambrosianae in Blackwood's Magazine. In 1835 that excellent angling writer Thomas Tod Stoddart began his valuable series of books with The Art of Angling as Practised in Scotland. In 1839 he published Songs and Poems, among which are pieces of great merit.
