Abstract
MR. ROUGHLEY has written perhaps the best book on gold-fish culture that has yet been published. It is a most useful volume, well produced and full of interest from beginning to end. The author thoroughly understands his fish and shows how they will respond to considerate treatment. Those who read these pages will never wish to keep a gold-fish in a bowl again, but they certainly will wish to keep a real aquarium and care for the fish in it; moreover, directions are given for making the aquarium or pond at home, which must appeal to many craftsmen.
The Cult of the Goldfish.
