This memoir attempts to give concise descriptions of all the fish species known to inhabit the waters of North America, north of the boundary between the United States and Mexico. The classification system adopted is essentially based on the views of Professors Gill and Cope rather than the fish groupings offered by the European systematists, with an effort to avoid unnatural associations in genera and families on one hand and subdivision beyond reasonable limits, on the other. Genera which have defied precise definition are rarely adopted.

The 57 cartoons and silly jingles in this book were made one by the author in a moment of leisure to please a small boy. They are now reprinted in the hope of pleasing other small boys and girls. They were originally in colour, but, being 106 years old, have been made over in black and white by a Japanese artist, who has once again brought them to life by occasional and added a few quaint touches of his own. In this volume you will find cartoons and jingles about: Aux Animaux Eric's Planet The Caravan Jack The Rabbit The 'Potamus Old Sea Catch The Ptarmigan A Hospitable Reptile A Social Lobster Little Children The Wunx Lost Shadow Gazibou Junglest Africa and many more. 10% of the profit from the sale of this book will be donated to charities. ========= KEYWORDS / TAGS: Eric’s Book of Beasts, animals, jingles, cartoons, images, Aux Animaux, L'envoi, Eric, Planet, Caravan, Jack The Rabbit, Elephant, 'Potamus, Crocodile, Giraffe, Goat, Possum, Old, Sea, Catch, Quail, Ptarmigan, Pelican, Man, Fish, Lion, Horned Toad, Hospitable, Reptile, Social Lobster, Cats And Kings, Little Children, Six Kings, Aspiring Monkey, Old Time Folks, Wunx, Totem Poles, Organ, Organ Man, Moonlight, Hunter, Deer, Gazelle, Bulldog, River, Squidgecumsquees, Road To Mandalay, Mitgard Serpent, Saint Georgeing, Dragon, Flotsam, Jetsam, Atoll, Storm Wind, Eric In The Dark, Mars' Stars And Pa's, Porcupine, Purple Cow, Gnu, Bobo, Lone Salmon, Bean Soup, Lost Shadow, Gazibou, Junglest Africa, Fishing, Bulldog, Steering Gear, Brother Knight, my Daddy's Family, Christmas Past, Last Act, Incas

Excerpt from The Fate of Iciodorum Being the Story of a City Made Rich by Taxation And all this magnificence of wealth and power, so important for national ad vertisement, costs little or nothing to the people of the nation: a few sous or'a few francs from each one; the rest is paid by foreigners. Nobody is much the poorer for all the riches of the Anonymous Equitable Associations of the nation, and the few who are so, chieﬂy weaklings or persons without enterprise, are negligible quantities in the development of high finance. It is only the doctrinaire who raises his voice against the Octroi. The practical man sees in it the open door to a world of opportunities.
