1875105491875. With Numerous Illustrations. Boston: James R. Osgood and Company 1875. Original terra-cotta cloth pictorially decorated in black and gilt beveled. First American fully-illustrated edition from the sheets of the first British edition. These four tales include three that are among Jules Verne's earliest: "A Drama in the Air" appeared in a periodical in 1851 his second story "Master Zacharius" 1854 his fourth and "A Winter amid the Ice" 1855 his fifth; "Dr. Ox's Experiment" itself did not appear until 1872. Also included is "Ascent of Mont Blanc" by his brother Paul Verne. Osgood had published the first edition in English in mid-1874 in a small unillustrated volume. William F. Gill of Boston published the first American somewhat- illustrated edition dated 1874 under the title FROM THE CLOUDS TO THE MOUNTAINS. Then this copiously-illustrated Osgood edition came out in mid-1875 priced at a hefty $3.00. The front cover shows Master Zacharius raising the trap door in the floor of his workshop and the spine shows the earthbound "madman" who had fallen from the balloon in "A Drama in the Air." This copy is in terra-cotta cloth others are in green -- no priority. It is an unusually bright very nearly fine copy the slightest hint of wear at the top of the spine magazine illustration tipped to the front endpaper.

1883106061883. Translated from the French by Mary de Hauteville. London: Sampson Low Marston Searle & Rivington 1883. 32 pp ads dated Nov 1882. Original ochre cloth pictorially decorated in brown black and green. First British Edition and first edition in English. This tale is a bit different from many of Verne's -- a love story sited in Scotland though as always with its share of scientific imponderables a girl refuses to marry the man her uncles have chosen for her unless she sees the mysterious "green ray" which would tell her it is true love. The front cover shows Helena and Oliver with eyes fixed upon one another while the crowd behind them has all eyes fixed upon "the green ray." This British edition was published in September 1883 -- a month before George Munro's pirated version in his wrappered "Seaside Library"; there was no American hardbound edition of this Verne tale until 1965. In our experience THE GREEN RAY is one of the very few toughest UK first editions of Jules Verne to find today: why we do not know but several others that followed THE GREEN RAY are close in scarcity KERABAN THE INFLEXIBLE of 1884 MATHIAS SANDORF of 1886 A LOTTERY TICKET of 1886 THE CLIPPER OF THE CLOUDS of 1887 NORTH AGAINST SOUTH of 1887 THE PURCHASE OF THE NORTH POLE of 1890 A FAMILY WITHOUT A NAME of 1890 and FOUNDLING MICK of 1895. This copy is in ochre cloth; the one other color we have seen is mauve-grey -- both with the same pictorial design mauve-grey we have seen both with and without gilt pages edges; ochre we have seen only without as here. The ad catalogue in this copy is dated November 1882 -- almost a year before publication -- which is the earliest GREEN RAY ad catalogue we have seen the others being Sept 1883 and Oct 1884. This is a very good copy quite attractive externally but recased within its original binding with stiffened spine and with black tape along the original endpapers' hinges; there is an 1899 school prize inscription on the front endpaper verso.

188193571881. in bright red cloth Together two volumes. Translated from the French by Miss Agnes D. Kingston. Illustrated. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons 1881. 8 pp undated ads in each volume. Original red cloth pictorially decorated in black and gilt beveled. First American hardbound edition of this tale taking place in India; to quote the synopsis provided by Scribner's at the time as cited in T&M Account of a journey through northern India in 1867 by four Englishmen in search of hunting and adventure; they travel over ground made memorable by the Indian mutiny of which many thrilling episodes are recalled and described; the famous Nana Sahib figures considerably in the work a renewed effort having been made at that time by the English government to capture him; the search for him and his death are described; the great feature of this story is the original manner in which the characters travel their equipage consisting of a complete house on wheels drawn by a huge traction engine having the form of an elephant. THE DEMON OF CAWNPORE has on its front cover an illustration of the "steam elephant" pulling the passenger car; TIGERS AND TRAITORS shows Maucler and Captain Hood taking refuge inside a tiger cage as tigers circle around them. George Munro published the first unillustrated edition in English of Part I in August 1880 and Part II in January 1881 in his self-wrappered "Seaside Library." Sampson Low published the first illustrated edition of Part I in December 1880 followed by Part II in April 1881. And Part I of this Scribner edition was published in February 1881 followed by Part II in May 1881. These two volumes are in bright red cloth; we have also seen them in blue cloth and more typically in grey terra-cotta or brown cloth no priority. Both volumes have expert repairs at the spine ends but otherwise are in bright very good-plus condition minor soil on one rear cover. Quite uncommon in the bright red cloth.

1876105531876. Diary of J. R. Kazallon Passenger. Translated from the French by Ellen Frewer. Boston: James R. Osgood and Company 1876. Original green cloth pictorially decorated in black and gilt beveled. First American Illustrated Edition actually printed in London. In mid-1875 Osgood published the first edition in English unillustrated as a little volume in their "Saunterer's Series." In November 1875 Sampson Low published the first illustrated edition in London. Then in January 1876 Osgood issued some of the British sheets in their own binding constituting the first American illustrated edition -- as here. In March 1876 -- just two months later -- Osgood's financial situation forced him to sell at auction the plates and unsold copies of the five Verne titles he had published; these were bought by one Albert Mason who in turn sold them to Porter & Coates of Philadelphia -- who would then proceed to use the plates to publish editions of their own. Porter & Coates also issued some copies with the Osgood 1876 title page but with "Porter & Coates" at the foot of the spine. As with the British edition the volume also includes the early Verne tale "Martin Paz" though it is not mentioned on the binding nor on the title page. This copy is in green cloth and the gilt vignette on the front cover is centered no known priority. It is a bright near-fine copy fine except for minor rubbing at the extremities. Apparently because of Osgood's then-pending doom this is today a scarce book. Taves & Michaluk V014; Myers 47. <br/><br/> hardcover books

First published in the US by George Munro in the Seaside Library Series.<br /><br />The Steam House French: La maison à vapeur is an 1880 Jules Verne novel recounting the travels of a group of British colonists in the Raj in a wheeled house pulled by a steam-powered mechanical elephant. Verne uses the mechanical house as a plot device to have the reader travel in nineteenth century India. The descriptions are interspersed with historical information and social commentary. The book takes place in the aftermath of the Indian Rebellion of 1857 against British rule with the passions and traumas aroused still very much alive among Indians and British alike. An alternate title by which the book was known - "The End of Nana Sahib" - refers to the appearance in the book of the historical figure Rebel leader Nana Sahib who disappeared after the crushing of the rebellion his ultimate fate unknown. Verne offers a fictional explanation to his disappearance.

1876146271876. a handsome set Together three volumes. Translated from the French by W.H.G. Kingston. Second Edition. London: Sampson Low Marston Searle & Rivington 1876. 3 pp undated ads in Part III. Original green cloth pictorially decorated in black and gilt. First English Edition second impression of all three volumes that were sold separately but which together form one of Verne's greatest tales. The translation unfortunately was effected by W.H.G. Kingston whose translation changed the hero's name from Smith to Harding. Further Kingston abridged or omitted many of the technical passages indicating the castaway's scientific development of the island. Verne's anti-imperialist sentiments expressed by the dying Captain Nemo were also reversed by Kingston so as not to offend English readers. Unfortunately Kingston's became the standard translation to this day inflicting his omissions and distortions on English-language readers. T&M Sampson Low's first edition all three volumes dated 1875 in a variety of cloth colors came out in September 1875. T&M records their second impression as coming out in February 1879 -- but here we have the second impression of all three volumes with "Second Edition" on each title page all dated 1876. The three Sampson Low first impressions seldom turn up on the market as a set especially in the same color cloth; these second impressions only in green are quite scarce as well as evidenced by T&M's not having seen them. In any event this is a handsome matched set of the English second impression page edges plain the first impression's page edges were gilded. All three volumes are in attractive just-about-fine condition with scarcely any external soil or wear only the very slightest of rubbing at the edges; a few leaves at each end of each volume have light foxing; even the original delicate peach-colored endpapers are clean and uncracked. Given the extreme scarcity of the first impressions over several decades we have offered only one set in this condition at $22500 this set of second impressions is highly collectible.

1873143731873. a handsome copy Translated from the French. With Numerous Illustrations. London: Sampson Low Marston Low & Searle 1873. 32 pp ads dated October 1872. Original green cloth pictorially decorated in black and gilt beveled all edges gilt.<br/><br/> First British Edition also the first edition in the English language. Three Englishmen. and three Russians. and their guide a bushman named Mokoum set out to measure the arc of a meridian in the Kalahari Desert of South Africa. Everything is going well until war is declared between England and Russia. Kytasaari This tale was initially published in the original French in 1872 as AVENTURES DE TROIS RUSSES ET DE TROIS ANGLAIS DANS L'AFRIQUE AUSTRALE. Sampson Low's English edition titled MERIDIANA with the subtitle's nationalities reversed in favor of the Englishmen was issued in November 1872 but was dated 1873 as here. In the same month some of these copies printed and bound in England were exported to the U.S. and equipped with the title page of Scribner's import house Scribner Welford and Armstrong likewise dated 1873 -- technically the American issue of the first English edition and extremely scarce today. Scribner Armstrong sans Welford then published the first edition actually produced in America; there was also an unauthorized American edition by Shepard titled ADVENTURES IN THE LAND OF THE BEHEMOTH with an altered translation and fewer illustrations published on the very same day. This edition has one of the great Verne pictorial bindings: a phalanx of crocodiles hungrily approaches an oblivious man holding a parasol. This copy is in green cloth one of several colors used without priority and has an ad catalogue dated October 1872 -- which we think is the earliest date we have also seen October 1873. The volume is just a little askew as always and a few gatherings stand slightly proud but this is a fine bright copy without any restoration or "improvement" of any kind. An early Verne edition that is quite scarce in this condition. Taves & Michaluk V009; Myers 39. unknown books

Verne's The Castle of the Carpathians centres on the story of Count Franz de Telek a visitor to the village of Werst in the Carpathian mountains of Transylvania who is inspired to visit the region after hearing that the town's villagers believe that the devil has come to inhabit its castle. The novel was likely the inspiration for Bram Stoker's Gothic horror novel Dracula published five years later in 1897 and featuring the character of Count Dracula also of Transylvania.

A 200 foot submarine a 225 pound diving suit a specially built soundstage with a 90 x 165 foot tank and a giant squid which weighed two tons and required a crew of 28 to operate were just some of the monumental challenges of the production.
