For the first time!—the complete published 
works of Morgan Robertson, in 8 volumes! 
At the request of a number of admirers of Morgan Robert¬ 
son, including a group of prominent writers like Booth Tar- 
kington, Irvin Cobb and Robert W. Chambers, we are bringing 
out this fall a uniform set of the complete published works of 
Morgan Robertson. 
Our manufacturing department 
pointed out to us that while we were 
engaged in the making of this limited 
edition we could very economically 
produce a few thousand extra sets at 
no increased expense other than the 
actual cost of the paper and binding 
of the extra sets. We readily 0. 
kayed this suggestion, because we 
saw an opportunity in these days of 
high-cost-of-living to produce a hand¬ 
some 8 volume set of Morgan Robert¬ 
son’s great stories which we could 
present to subscribers for the Met¬ 
ropolitan and McClure’s. 
It is now your opportunity, today, 
to secure one of these sets of Mor¬ 
gan Robertson’s complete published 
What America’s Great Writers 
Say of Morgan Robertson’s Stories 
“A master of his art. No lover of real stories can 
afford to miss reading Morgan Robertson’s works." 
RICHARD HARDING DAVIS 
"I hold a very high opinion of Morgan Robertson’s 
work. Please enter my subscription for your new edi¬ 
tion." ROBERT W. CHAMBERS 
"No American writer has written better short stories 
than Morgan Robertson. No American writer ever wrote 
as good sea stories as he has written." IRVIN COBB 
"His stories are bully—his sea is foamy and his men 
have hair on their chests." BOOTH TARKINGTON 
stories in 8 volumes. Mind you, this set will not be sold in the 
book stores or by agents. This is your first and last chance. 
All you have to do to start a set of these books to your home 
and your subscription for the Metropolitan and McClure’s for

and shipping cost of the 8 volumes 
of Morgan Robertson to your home. 
A generous royalty is paid Morgan 
Robertson s widow on every set dis¬ 
tributed; the only income she enjoys. 
After you have read the endorse¬

as told you by the great writers of 
America on this page you will want

Neither ever saw a human being before! 
A boy of three is cast on a desert island—all that’s left of a ship’s com¬ 
pany. On the opposite side of the island a baby girl is cast up. Both grow 
up—neither knows of the other. How they survive—how they meet—what they 
think—throws a light on how our prehistoric ancestors may have lived—a 
vivid picture of instinct and need for love. This story, "Primordial." and 
the sequel, "The Three Laws and the Golden Rule," are two of Morgan Rpb- 
ertson's most talked about stories—startling pieces of fiction in a field which 
none but a genius would dare enter. In the sequel to "Primordial" Morgan 
Robertson tells of the awakening of these two young people to the immutable 
laws of nature. It is an idyl of young love.
