The Spider S Web Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Spider's Web In 1909 I projected, vaguely it is true, a cycle of four novels, each to be independent of the others in plot and character, but all carrying forward a defi nite View of life. As, however, the announcement of a cycle is the surest means of alienating readers, not to mention publishers, I held my tongue about the general plan and concerned myself, ln' public, only with its separate parts. These were The House of Bondage, The Sentence of Silence, Running Sands and The Spider's Web. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Spider Web: The Romance of a Flying-Boat War Flight There is a tang of salt in the adventures of the men who boomed out in them over the narrow waters, for they had to do with submarines and ships, and all that that implies. In their job 0' work of bombing U-boats, attacking Zeppelins, fighting enemy seaplanes, and carrying out re connaissance and convoy duties, there is as much romance as in any particular effort in the war. In the future, grown great in Size, the boats will form the winged Navy, and will carry mails and passengers over the water-routes of all the world.

Excerpt from American Spiders Spiders Make Up A Considerable portion of the animal life of the vast and diversified land that is North America. That general knowledge of them is relatively meager must be attributed to the circumstance of size, rather than to inferiority in either importance or genuine interest. By means of size, and also of sound, birds, mammals, and vertebrate animals monopolize the stage and divert attention. Yet only a slight change in perspective will bring into view a microcosm of tiny creatures that, hidden away in leafy jungles or unseen in miniature forests under foot, live lives of unbelievable strangeness and complexity. To bring this microcosm into sharp focus for the general reader is the prime purpose of this book. Our American spider heritage is a large and diversified fauna commensurate in importance with the age and size of the continent itself. Proclaiming this heritage is a large and rewarding body of literature created by students during more than one hundred and fifty years of enthusiastic devotion. At the beginning one would mention the name of John Abbot, who, as early as 1776, began the study of spiders and other animals in the region around Savannah, Georgia. It is to be regretted that his fine paintings and accompanying notes were never published, as were those of the birds, butterflies, and moths for which he became justly famous. Thereafter, with Nicholas Marcellus Hentz, whose first contribution appeared in 1821, began a line of investigators (H. C. McCook, T. H. Montgomery, G. W. and E. G. Peckham, J. H. Comstock, and J. H. Emerton, to mention only a few) which has terminated in that outstanding living American devotee of Arachne, Alexander Petrunkevitch, and in a growing circle of younger workers. The contribution of Americans to world araneology has been a striking one, but we have profited in even greater measure by the energy and genius of students from other lands, foreigners in language only.
