Quoting from the
1923 Introduction: ”GERALDINE and PETER sat on a bench in the
orchard sharing a spelling-book between them; the French Governess sat
on the grass, her broad back propped against a fat apple tree, her spectacles
low on her nose. “B, I,-bi-OL-ol-O-o-GY-gy, Biology,” said
Peter and Geraldine in sleepy sing-song. Then they waited, eyes fixed
on the next word in the spelling-book. But the French Governess said
nothing; her spectacles slipped lower on her nose, her head wagged.
“She’s going to sleep again.” whispered Geraldine."
“It isn’t our fault,” said Peter. “Spell the
next word softly. Now! Together” ”You know that our spelling
together always makes her sleepy. I think we ought to spell very loudly----“
“It is bad manners to speak loudly,” said Peter. The Orchard
was warm; the transparent green shadows spread a cool carpet under boughs
that swept the grass.
“I
wonder,” said Peter, how many things there are in the world?”
“what kinds?” asked Geraldine. “Oh all kinds of kinds.”----“There
are so many kinds of things—like birds, and squirrels, and toads,
and butterflies, and fishes---so many, many things,” continued
Peter. “And I wonder why?”--------- Geraldine, why are you
afraid of something every time you are Outdoors?” “I’m
not, “ said Geraldine; “I only find it tiresome watching
for Ants and Spiders.” And so begins the introduction of the two
children to all of the creatures that live in the OUTDOORS.
The book was ILLUSTRATED in
COLOR by REGINALD BIRCH & ELIZABETH SHIPPEN GREEN. The book contains
21 of their FULL COLOR illustrations along with many B&W illustrations.
RE: the 1931 printing: The adventures of Peter

by E. F. Bleiler: "The Harbor-Master," "In Quest of the Dingue," "Is
the Ux Extinct?" The
farcical adventures of a young zoologist searching in various parts
of the world for specimens of prehistoric or mythical animals and
for love; in each case he loses the specimen and the girl. The introduction
attempts to make a case for Chambers, one of the best-selling novelists
of his time, as an important writer of SF, but these slick-magazine
stories are quite routine both as SF and as romantic comedy.
Features a tissue protected frontispiece, and a striking
pictorial binding of a blindfolded man being pursued by a ghostlike
figure. Bleiler listed collection of 25 stories, most of which are
science fiction, the rest are supernatural. This title, like THE KING
IN YELLOW, rank as this prolific author's best work. An important
early science fiction book.

The Reckoning is the last of the Cardigan
series. The hero, Carus Renault, is a spy for both sides though his
leaning is toward the rebels. Capt. Walter Butler has evidence
to hang Ranault and is only thwarted by Elsin Gray, a women both men
lust for though Butler has secretly married despite his real marriage
to Lyn Montour. Renault escapes leaving Elsin behind to stop the destruction
of the Iroquois Longhouse, for he is an adopted Sachem of the Oneida
Wolf Clan, the only tribe of the Longhouse to side with the rebels.
With one Oneida warrior and Lyn Montour, the half breed wife that Butler
has put aside, Renault faces the council at Thendara to stop the punishment
of the Oneida Clan. Renault returns in time to fight one battle as a
Captain defending Johnstown. At long last, Walter Butler,
meets his just end. Lyn Montour's honor is restored when Jack Mount,
the bandit hero of the Revolution, marries her. Carus Renault and Elsin
Gray and Heroine are able to marry at last and the war comes to an end.
First two paragraphs of the preface: The author's intention is to treat,
in a series of four or five romances, that part of the war for independence
which particularly affected the great landed families of northern New
York: the Johnsons, represented by Sir William, Sir John, Guy Johnson,
and Colonel Claus: the notorious Butlers, father and son: the Schuylers,
Van Rensselaers, and others.
The first romance of the series, Cardigan, was followed by the second,
The Maid-at Arms. The third in order is not completed. The fourth is
the present volume.
