Traffics and Discoveries

Traffics and Discoveries is a collection of poems and short stories by Rudyard Kipling, published by Macmillan and Co. of London and Doubleday, Page of New York in 1904.^[1][2]

Front cover of the US first edition^[1] (Doubleday, Page & Co., October 1904)

• The Comprehension of Private Copper
• Steam Tactics
• "Wireless"
• The Army of a Dream (as Part I and Part II)

One poem precedes each story, as in many Kipling collections:

• From the Masjid-Al-Aqsa of Sayyid Ahmed (Wahabi)
• Poseidon's Law
• The Runners
• The Wet Litany
• The King's Task
• The Necessitarian
• Kaspar's Song in "Varda"

The use of italic font for all poem titles only follows the Contents list in the first edition (London: Macmillan and Co., 1904). The use of quotation marks follows that list, and also the story headings and running heads, except that the first edition uses single quotation marks throughout.^[2]
