Abstract
This book, sold by subscription only, began to ring bells after I read a few stories. It turns out that the book takes over almost entirely--and utterly without mention--the earlier Modern Fables and Parables or Moral Truth in a Nutshell from 1903. The preface seems verbatim the same. The number of stories has contracted from 111 to 96. One curiosity that I note as dropping is The Bug and the Capitalist, which presented social criticism of capitalism. The vast majority of the offerings there, as well as their accompanying illustrations, are back. We have lost the very serious photograph of Harris at the beginning of the book. The beginning still has a T of C, as well as a list of illustrations. The stories continue to disappoint me. They are forced and anti-intellectual. See my comments on the earlier book.
