Corner chip to front free endpaper else a tight clean copy just lightly soiled on boards; Very Good or better. One of many contemporary "reply novels" to Bellamy's best-selling 1888 utopia Looking Backward this one intended as a literal sequel in which the further adventures of Bellamy's protagonist Julian West are presented. Perhaps of greater interest is the novel printing method used by the publisher for this edition with the page margins tinted yellow throughout to "reduce eye strain." An explanatory note from the publisher requesting readers to "report to us the effect that the colored margin has had upon their eyes" is tipped in following the title page. The book was also issued with green- and blue-tinted margins in varying cloth bindings to match to suit the preferences of different readers. SARGENT p.104. NEGLEY 1006. LEWIS p.173.

Riddle formed a militia company of exempts i.e. self-armed and equipped volunteers over 40 years of age who although exempt for military duty chose to organize as a militia unit. The company drilled daily in expectation that as a result of heightened Anglo-American tension over the Oregon-Canada borderit would be called on to fight the British at Portsmouth.
