THE LOST WORLD

               I have wrought my simple plan
                If I give one hour of joy
              To the boy who's half a man,
                Or the man who's half a boy.



                      The Lost World


                            By

                 SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE

                     COPYRIGHT, 1912



                         Foreword

        Mr. E. D. Malone desires to state that
      both the injunction for restraint and the
      libel action have been withdrawn unreservedly
      by Professor G. E. Challenger, who, being
      satisfied that no criticism or comment in
      this book is meant in an offensive spirit,
      has guaranteed that he will place no
      impediment to its publication and circulation.
