Original spelling and grammar have been generally retained, with
some exceptions noted below. Original small caps are now uppercase.
Italics look _like this_. The transcriber produced the cover image
by slightly altering the original, and hereby assigns it to the
public domain. Illustrations, other than large initial drop-caps,
have been moved from within paragraphs of text to nearby locations
between paragraphs. Drop-caps are not marked in the simple text
edition, but are illustrated in the html/epub/mobi editions of this
transcription. For this purpose, I have treated stanzas of poetry
like paragraphs of text. Original page images are available from
archive.org—search for “pleiadesclubyear00plei”.
The List of Contributors mentions a _W. Krieghof_, but the poem _A
TOAST_ was said to be illustrated by _Krieghoff_, and that is also
the signature on the illustration. _The Tale of the Store Girl_ was
illustrated by “Adrian Machefert”, but the List of Contributors
mentions an “Adrien Machefert”. _A Song_ was written by “Philip
Verrill Mighels”, but the List of Contributors has it “Phillip
Verrill Mighels”. _The Old, Old Prayer_ was supposedly written by
“John W. Postgate”, but the List of Contributors mentions only “J.
W. Postgare”.
In the sixth paragraph of _Waiting!_, a new right double quotation
mark was inserted after ‘But I’ll phone you some time during the
week.’.
At the bottom of the poem _At the Pleiades_ by Maurice V. Samuels,
there was in our copy of the book what appears to be a hand-written
signature of Maurice Samuels. This is retained (as an image) in
this transcription, although we don’t know whether it was present
in only one, a few, or all printed copies of this book. Likewise
for what appears to be the signature of Francesca di Maria
Spaulding, following her poem, _The Wanderer_.
Near the end of the book there were five pages dedicated to
Autographs of club members, two of which were blank, followed by a
blank page, followed by a sort of collophon with an emblem and the
name of the publishing company, followed by more blank pages. The
autographs are retained, although we don’t know whether they were
present in one or all printed copies of the book. The blank pages
have been ignored in this transcription.
