From the father of modern science-fiction (DJ), this is the second edition of Gernsback's "Romance of the year 2660."  It first appeared in serial form in Modern Electrics, a radio magazine published by Gernsback.  Updated for the 1925 edition and then again in 1950 for this edition to reflect the technical and scientific advances of the intervening years.  

Inscribed to Theodore Engel, "my good friend and most excellent science fiction researcher," by the author, NYC 1952.  Gernsback and Engel collaborated on a bibliography of science fiction writing.
