Lost Race Adventure. For Some Reason Scarcer In Decent Condition Than Its Printing Of 2556 Copies Would Indicate (Fantasy Press Usually Printed At Least 3000 Copies Of Most Of Its Output. ) From Wikipedia: Alpheus Hyatt Verrill, Known As Hyatt Verrill, (1871 -1954) Was An American Zoologist, Explorer, Inventor, Illustrator And Author. He Was The Son Of Addison Emery Verrill, The First Professor Of Zoology At Yale University. He Wrote On A Wide Variety Of Topics, Including Natural History, Travel, Radio And Whaling. He Participated In Archaeological Expeditions To The West Indies, South, And Central America. Theodore Roosevelt Stated: "It Was My Friend Verrill Here, Who Really Put The West Indies On The Map." During 1896, He Served As Natural History Editor Of Webster's International Dictionary, And He Illustrated Many Of His Own Writings As Well. In 1902, Verrill Invented The Autochrome Process Of Natural-Color Photography. Among His Writings Are Many Science Fiction Works Including Twenty Six Published In Amazing Stories Pulp Magazines. Upon His Death, P. Schuyler Miller Noted That Verrill "Was One Of The Most Prolific And Successful Writers Of Our Time," With 115 Books To His Credit As Well As "Articles In Innumerable Newspapers." Everett F. Bleiler Described Verrill's "Lost Race" Stories As "More Literate Than Most Of Their Competition, But Stodgy." When The Moon Ran Wild (1962) Was Published Posthumously Using The Name Ray Ainsbury. Verill's Books Were Praised For Their Entertaining Writing Style But Were Criticized By Biologist Joel Hedgpeth For Containing "Outrageous Fabrications" To Appeal To Younger Readers.[3] Geneticist H. Bentley Glass Wrote That Verill Had Written A Number Of Entertaining Works But His Strange Prehistoric Animals And Their Stories Was Riddled With Errors And What Passed As Fact In The Book Was "Hardly Distinguishable" From Fiction. Lionel Walford, A Marine Biologist, Wrote In A Review For Verrill's Wonder Creatures Of The Sea That The Literary Quality Is "Nullified By Its Lack Of Scientific Dependability". Other Reviews Were Entirely Positive. For Example, His Harper's Book For Young Naturalists Was Described As Factually Reliable And A "Valuable Hand-Book For The Library Of Home Or School".
