 “Mr. Beebe’s volume is one of the rare books which represent a positive addition to the sum total of genuine literature. It is not merely a ‘book of the season’ or ‘book of the year’; it will stand on  the shelves of cultivated people, of people whose taste in reading is both wide and good, as long as men and women appreciate charm of form in the writings of men who also combine love of daring adventure with the power to observe and vividly to record the things of strange interest which they have seen. . . . If I had space I would like to give an abstract of the whole book. As it is I merely advise all who love good books, very good books, at once to get this book of Mr. Beebe’s.” THEODORE ROOSEVELT (*Fall 1925*)     \n\n*Jacket B:* Uniform typographic jacket D. (*Spring 1929*)     \n\n> Front flap: 
 As a trained scientific observer, William Beebe has conducted many expeditions at sea and into the jungle. The wealth of data collected by him and the vivid tales of adventure he has brought back constitute a record unique among books of exploration. In *Jungle Peace* he describes a remote and glamorous segment of the world —Guiana — and creates a picture of tropical splendor and mystery. He tells of birds and beasts, plants and insects with the accuracy of the scientist and the wonder of a born story-teller. (*Spring 1934*)   \n\nOriginally published by Henry Holt & Co., 1918. ML edition (pp. [iii]–297) printed from Holt plates with illustrations and list of illustrations omitted. Published 25 September 1925. *WR* 3 October 1925. First printing: 5,000 copies. Discontinued 1 January 1941.   \n\nRoosevelt’s foreword originally appeared as a front-page review in the *New York Times Review of Books* (13 October 1918) and was added as a foreword to later Holt printings.   \n\nThere were at least eleven ML printings between fall 1925 and August 1937 totaling 21,000 copies, including a second printing of 2,000 copies in December 1925. *Jungle Peace* sold 1,706 copies during the first half of 1928, placing it fifty-sixth out of 147 ML titles.     \n\n",
