    vouring to supply such practical directions as may afford the best assistance to enable our readers to distinguish the different kinds of fishes, with a few remarks on their respec- tive merits as we proceed. The proper times and seasons, and the best criterions by which a sound and healthy condition may be most easily discovered—will then be discussed. An attempt will next be made to point out the best modes of treatment for preserv- ing fish, either for along or short period — as the exigency of the case may require— and the various modes by which this may be effected—and last of all, to furnish all the information we can collect, as to the various modes by which each individual species may appear at table in the most favorable point of view, as well as the different sauces with which they should be accompanied; a subject by no means to be passed lightly over, and which no pains shall be wanting on our part to lay fairly before our readers.
