Wells, Herbert George. [Time machine]; an invention. †$1. Holt.
Instead of a comet to lead up to a new regime, Mr. Wells invents in his present story a time machine which flies with the narrator thru the future to a golden age in which the dreams of to-day, speculations upon the destiny of our race have become projects deliberately put in hand and carried forward. Among them communism, disappearance of disease, subjugation of Nature, warring of physical force, and the close resemblance of the sexes.
