Pages browning. Faint mark on first title. <br/><br/>Scarce Jules Verne novel set in Canada of all places complete with wild Indians musket fire and Sir John Colborne. Some readers may recognize John W. Lovell 1851-1932 as a Canadian publisher and he was indeed born in Montreal in 1851. His father John Lovell Sr. 1810-93 was a Canadian publisher born in Ireland. John W. who had experience operating his father's large printing plant moved to Rouse's Point New York in 1873 to run a printing plant there. After marrying a local girl in 1876 he became an American citizen and moved to New York City. There he published a wide variety of books and took advantage of the lack of international copyright laws to print popular titles of the day including those of Dickens as well as Verne. As a born Canadian it's not surprising he would print this story set in his native land. According to the title page he was located at 150 Worth Street cor. Meeting Place at time of publication which places this book in 1891 although John W. published earlier paperback versions in 1889 and 1890. Myers 19. Taves & Michaluk V036. John W.
