Bethge (1876-1946) was a minor poet and fiction writer, one of whose claims to fame was that Mahler used his poems in Das Lied von der Erde. The title story in this collection of novellas describes a journey by boat from Marseille to Veracruz and one of the passengers, an enigmatic Englishman and his even stranger companion, a yellow cat with a coat “almost like saffron.” The modest Jungstil volume was designed by the German artist Leo Prochownik.

This rare introduction to the chemistry of dyes includes 153 mounted color samples. F. F. Runge (1795-1867) was dubbed "Dr. Poison" (Doktor Gift) by his fellow medical students at Jena because of his research on poisonous plants. Runge earned a second doctorate, in chemistry, from Berlin, and went on to a career as director of a chemical factory in Oranienburg. He was the first to isolate phenol and aniline from coal tar and showed how synthetic dyes could be made from these compounds, an accomplishment that made him a significant figure in the economic history of Germany. While he was still a student in Jena, Runge isolated caffeine for the first time, and it is said that Goethe gave him the coffee beans for this experiment. Runge was also the first to isolate quinine.
