New York, Frank. F. Lovell, 1890. First edition, first impression. Paperback. A very good copy. Collects six short stories. An uncommon collection, "The protagonist of 'A Magnetic Man', whose various Inventions do nothing to make him liked, learns how to control electricity, which governs affinities; and 'Chemical Clairvoyance' features a device capable of recording the backward traces of the future on atoms, thus making Prediction possible." [SFE, Clute]. A little soiling to the wrappers and a bit of chipping and wear. [11285, Hyraxia Books].
