Description:

With an introduction by H.G. Wells. Fifth impression (first published 1919). Wilhelm Nero Pilate Barbellion was the pseudonym of Bruce Frederick Cummings (1889-1919). Cummings was a naturalist who worked at the British Museum (Natural History). One of the last entries in his journal reads, "I am only twenty-eight, but I have telescoped into those few years a tolerably long life: I have loved and married, and have a family; I have wept and enjoyed, struggled and overcome, and when the hour comes I shall be content to die." He died of multiple sclerosis shortly after this book was first published. This work is regarded as a minor classic of English literature.
