SEABURY QUINN
A Brief Note
While it is not generally known to his readers, many of whom believe him to be a physician, Seabury Quinn, author of the Jules de Grandin stories which have been popular with the readers of Weird Tales for ten years, holds the degrees of Bachelor and Master of Laws, being graduated from the National University Law School, Washington, D. C., in 1910. From 1910 until his entry into the U. S. Army at the outbreak of the World War (Secod Lieutenant, Infantry attached Intelligence Service) he practised law in the National Capital, specializing in criminal and personal injury cases, in which he acted principally as medico-legal consultant to other attorneys.

William Hope Hodgson
(continued from page 56)
range of weird and fantastic plots appears to have been covered in the five books listed previously—pig-men, elementals, human trees, ghosts, sea of weeds, thought-transference, intelligent slugs, and in "The Night Land" the men are equipped with a hand weapon called a Diskos. This consists of a disk of gray metal which spins in the end of the metal rod, is charged from earth currents and capable of cutting people in two.
Unfortunately, there is practically no bibliographical data concerning Hodgson available. Even his old publishers are unable to supply any information except a meager list of some of his books and the regrettable fact that he was killed during the war.
