One of London's better known passages comes from A Relic of the Pleistocene: "I wash my hands of him at the start. I cannot father his tales nor will I be responsible for them. I make these preliminary reservations observe as a guard upon my own integrity. I possess a certain definite position in a small way also a wife; and for the good name of the community that honours my existence with its approval and for the sake of her posterity and mine I cannot take the chances I once did nor foster probabilities with the careless improvidence of youth."

Born In Norway Reimers Immigrated To The U.S. And Settled In California Before 1883. He Established Himself As A Painter At An Early Age Focusing Predominantly On Landscapes Which Laid The Foundation For His Design Practice. Around 1900 Reimers Was Hired To Work As A Landscape Gardener For The San Joaquin Division Of The Santa Fe Railway Where He Introduced The Idea Of Improving The Depots With Parks. This Work And His Experience With Planting In Hot Dry Climates Led To His Appointment As The Chief Gardener For The City Of Fresno California. In This Role He Designed The Planting Scheme For Roeding Park In 1903 And Hobart Park In 1906. Following These Naturalistic Public Park Designs He Was Commissioned In 1910 To Design Mooney Grove Park A 100-Acre Valley Woodland In Visalia California. In 1907 Reimers Moved To San Francisco And Attended The Institute Of Art. His Work Was Publically Exhibited At The Golden Gate Park Museum And San Francisco Academy Of Art In 1915 And 1916 Respectively. Today Reimers Is Better Known As An Artist Than As A Landscape Architect With Paintings In The Oakland Art Museum And The Art Institute Of Chicago. <br/> <br/> The Macmillan Company hardcover

LONDON, Jack
The Game Original Autograph Manuscript Signed offered with A.L.S. to Richard Watson Gilder editor of the "Century Magazine
n.p. n.d. Quarto : 119pp. : in half morocco slipcase : Sept. 30 1904; A.L.S. 2 pages : To R.W. Gilder. The original autograph manuscript of London's ground breaking story about boxing. The manuscript is heavily corrected throughout in London's hand showing considerable evidence of re-writing. The first page is rubber stamped August 31 1904 and last page signed by the author and dated Sep. 30 1904 suggesting he took just one month to write the story. <br /> <br /> In the letter accompanying the manuscript London offers the story to Richard Watson Gilder editor of the "Century Magazine". He describes the story as "a transcript from the life of the western end of my own town Oakland. And the fight if nothing else is real." <br /> <br /> Gilder declined the story and it was serialised in Metropolitan Magazine U.S. and The Tatler London both in April 1905 and then published in book form by Macmillan in June 1905 illustrated by Henry Hutt and decorated by T.C. Lawrence. While it did not reach the spectacular success of Call of the Wild 1903 or The Sea-Wolf 1904 The Game 1905 was the first literary treatment of prize fighting and is credited with starting the genre. <br /> <br /> Categorised as a novel in Walker and Sisson 9 in the letter London is adamant that it is not a short story - "This thing somehow just got away with me." - and refers to it twice as a "transcript from life". He is aware that he is breaking ground "The prize ring has never been understandingly done into literature - and when it has been attempted it has been a description of a contest between world champions by a man who didn't know anything about it." <br /> <br /> That Jack London knew something about boxing is well documented. He learned the art of pugilism as a young man and as a sportswriter he covered many fights. He countered charges that the story was "unbelievable" by sending news clippings to his critics to prove that a boxer could smash in the back of his skull by falling to the mat from a hard blow. And he claimed that the lightweight champion of the world Jimmy Britt liked the story "on account of its trueness to life" Book of Jack London II 10-11 as quoted in Walker and Sisson p.13. <br /> <br /> Having closely compared the manuscript to the Metropolitan Magazine and first US editions 91 textual differences have been noted. Most of these are between the manuscript and both print versions. However there are a number of cases where the Metropolitan Magazine version follows the manuscript and a handful of occasions where all three differ.
