1899106141899. Translated from the French by Laura E. Kendall. Chicago: M. A. Donohue & Co. n.d. 3 pp undated ads. Original green cloth pictorially decorated in black light blue and peach. First American hardbound edition. UN BILLET DE LOTERIE was first published in France in 1886 and that same year George Munro of New York was the first to publish this in English -- in two self-wrappered volumes of his "Seaside Library" the first volume was published by July 1886 and the second by December 1886. In between these two in August Sampson Low published the first British edition as THE LOTTERY TICKET. Munro being of course a pirate publisher his business went downhill fast after the passage of the International Copyright Act in 1891 clearly George did not offer enough "soft money" to his legislators. His "Seaside Library" publications became the property of Donohue of Chicago and this book published "by the turn of the century" T&M is one result: though mentioning only "Ticket No. 9672" on the binding and title page it also includes various other former "Seaside Library" numbers by other authors including Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher" and "The Pit and the Pendulum." There were no other American editions of this Verne tale between the Munro two-volume wrappered first and this Donahue one -- making this the first American hardbound edition. Both the front cover and the spine portray lighter-than-air flying machines. The usual problem for this book is the erosion of the peach-colored pigment used on the binding and this copy is no exception: although the book has very little overall wear the peach is entirely missing from the spine in fact it appears never to have been applied there and partly from the front cover.

1890106191890. New York: J. S. Ogilvie n.d. 1890. 1 page preliminary ads plus 2 pp terminal ads. Original dark blue-green cloth. First American Edition and first edition in the English language. This is the sequel to Verne's "Moon" books of many years earlier: quoting from the preliminary ad leaf this is the story of How the Americans bought the North Pole and planned to change the axis of the Earth making the Arctic regions bloom like the Tropics by the explosion of a stupendous cannon. This tale is a good example of Verne's growing cynicism: whereas in the 1870s he has the Baltimore Gun Club using its gigantic cannon to explore the moon here the club has purchased land in the Arctic so that they can reap huge profits when that land becomes tropical. "Topsy Turvy" appeared in English in the January 19 1890 issue of New York World -- at the same time that newspaper's famous reporter Nellie Bly was attempting to beat Phileas Fogg's record time around the world. It was at some point soon thereÂafter that this Ogilvie edition No. 183 of "The Favorite Series" with ten illustrations was published the wrappered version in Ogilvie's "Fireside Series" is dated January 1890 on its wrapper. Sampson Low's British edition THE PURCHASE OF THE NORTH POLE was not published until December of that year with twenty chapters; both the original French edition and Ogilvie's edition have twenty-one. This copy is clean and unworn -- fine except that the endpapers have damage from overzealous erasure. As always the text paper itself is browned and brittle -- as Ogilvie produced as cheap a book as it could. This is quite an uncommon Verne volume. Taves & Michaluk V035; Myers 53. unknown books

18732607London: Sampson Low Martson Low & Searle 1873. First edition in English. Very Good. Rare first English language edition of Verne's classic work preceding the American edition and much scarcer than the 1873 Smith or Osgood US printings. Publisher's original red cloth stamped in black and gilt rebacked with portions of the spine replaced. Original peach end papers with a contemporary gift inscription and Burns Bindery ticket. All page edges gilt. Generally in good condition internally. A young reader has written comments at the end of the book in pencil that could be erased but we've left them as they are kind of charming. Finally publisher's catalogue "For the season 1872-73" has six pages not eight as seen in some other copies. Whether it's lacking the final advertisement leaf or whether it was issued as such we cannot say. A Very Good copy overall of a very scarce book. A similar copy also rebacked and in cloth brought $8750 at auction Heritage 2018.<br/><br/>"Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is arguably Verne's masterpiece. As a classic it has aged wonderfully well: it is escapist fun but it still retains its literary and scientific significance. To dismiss it as simply an adventure story does it a disservice.it is also an eerie tale of isolation and madness packed full with geographica; and scientific accuracies that make the fantastic uncomfortably believable" The Guardian. A work of incredible imagination the novel follows the expedition and capture of Professor Pierre Aronnax as he scours the ocean deeps in search of a mysterious "sea monster" reportedly attacking international vessels. As it turns out the fabulous beast spotted off the coast of New York turns out to be the Nautilus a secret underwater ship constructed for and commanded by Captain Nemo. An incredible work of adventure that explores the depths of the human psyche. Very Good. Sampson Low, Martson, Low, & Searle unknown books

A very Fine set.<br/><br/>Jules Verne was a "French writer whose works shaped the development of modern science fiction.In 1863 Verne published the first of his Voyages extraordinaires—Cinq semaines en ballon 1863; Five Weeks in a Balloon. The great success of the tale encouraged him to produce others in the same vein of romantic adventure with increasingly deft depictions of fantastic but nonetheless carefully conceived imaginary scientific wonders. The Voyages continued with Le Voyage au centre de la Terre 1864; A Journey to the Center of the Earth De la Terre à la Lune 1865; From the Earth to the Moon Vingt Mille Lieues sous les mers 1869-70; Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea and L'Île mystérieuse 1874; The Mysterious Island in which he foresaw a number of scientific devices and developments including the submarine the aqualung television and space travel. Verne's novels were enormously popular throughout the world; one in particular the grippingly realistic Le Tour du monde en quatre-vingt jours 1873; Around the World in Eighty Days generated great excitement during its serial publication in Le Temps and remained one of his most popular works" Merriam-Webster's Encyclopedia of Literature. Here in 15 lovely volumes are some of his most imaginative and influential works. Vincent Parke and Company unknown books
