Info Notes

Ramsey wrote two other works that may have been utopias--Future Dark Ages. Minneapolis, MN: Nation, 1900; and Two Billion of Miles; or, The Story of a Trip Through the Solar System. [Minneapolis, MN]: np, 1900. Both are listed in The National Union Catalog, but neither can be found. In a letter to me The Library of Congress verified that they "discarded" the only known copies of these two books.
