1877135171877. Verne Jules. MICHAEL STROGOFF. Translated by W.H.G. Kingston. Revised by Julius Chambers. With Ninety Full-Page Illustrations. New York: Scribner Armstrong & Company 1877. 6 pp undated ads. Original green cloth pictorially decorated in black and gilt beveled. First American Edition of this historical tale of adventure taking place during a Siberian revolt by the Tartars. The czar must get a message to his brother the arch-duke in Irkutsk for which he chooses his best courier Michael Strogoff. The first publication in English in October 1876 was in a wrappered American edition by Frank Leslie; Sampson Low's U.K. edition came out two months later in December 1876 despite the 1877 date on the title page. This Scribner Armstrong edition came out a few weeks later in January 1877; it sold so well that by February a third edition was being advertised. This is a near-fine copy with minor rubbing at the extremities but otherwise scarcely any external wear or soil a few leaves stand slightly proud. This highly-sought Verne tale seldom turns up in any better condition. Taves & Michaluk V015; Edwards 15. <br/><br/> hardcover books
1888106161888. Or The Memoirs of a Dragoon. A Tale of the Days of Dumouriez. With Numerous Illustrations. London: Sampson Low Marston Searle & Rivington 1888. One preliminary page undated ads with this title the last added. Original green cloth pictorially decorated in black. First British Edition also the first hardbound and first illustrated edition in English published the year after the French edition titled LE CHEMIN DE FRANCE. This tale takes place during the 1792 defense of France under General Dumouriez against the invading Prussians -- culminating in the "cannonade of Valmy." This was one of Verne's most anti-German tales along with THE BEGUM'S FORTUNE; to quote from a contemporary British review cited by T&M This is a dangerous theme for a French writer especially now when the national feeling runs so high against all that is German. The writer delights to seek in the past a literary revenge for recent disasters as it seems not to be likely to come in the immediate future. It somewhat mars our enjoyment to hear so to speak throughout the gnashing of teeth whenever anything German is mentioned. The actual first edition of this title in English was published in wrappers in Toronto by October 1888; this Sampson Low edition was next published the following month. In the same month a wrappered American edition was published by Frank Lovell. This copy is in the secondary binding of green cloth decorated entirely in black and thus lacks one of the best features of the primary binding the gilt "streaks of rain" across the front cover scene. Condition is fine except for a cracked front endpaper. Taves & Michaluk V032; Myers 21. unknown books

L'Invasion de la Mer is an adventure novel set in Tunisia evoking an authentic project representative of the French colonial spirit. In the 1880s François Élie Roudaire planned to flood part of the Sahara desert with Mediterranean waters by digging a canal from the Gulf of Gabès to the chotts via the chott el-Jérid.

1874121571874. Translated from the French. London: Sampson Low Marston Low & Searle 1874. 40 pp ads dated August 1874. Original orange cloth decorated in black and gilt beveled all page edges gilt. First British Edition published in September 1874 -- the same month as Scribner Armstrong's American edition. This volume consists of two separate tales. The first is a fictionalized narrative of Verne's 1867 passage from Liverpool to New York aboard "The Great Eastern" the largest iron ship ever built and one of the wonders of its age. Her length was 692 feet her beam was 120 her paddlewheels and propeller were larger than anything the ocean had ever seen and she was designed to carry more passengers than the Queen Mary. Because of her size "The Great Eastern" was the only ship capable of laying the great Atlantic Cable. The second tale is fictional more in Verne's usual style: a Glasgow shipowner devises an adventurous plan to run the Union blockade of southern ports during the American Civil War in order to bring a load of cotton back to his city's 25000 idle looms. This copy is in orange cloth we have also had a dark red copy and a green one -- no priority. It is in bright near-fine condition spine slightly faded as usual with this color cloth occasional light foxing on the leaves within; the elaborate gilt design on the front cover remains bright and atypically the original peach endpapers are not cracked. In our experience this London edition is considerably scarcer than the New York one. Taves & Michaluk V008; Myers 22. <br/><br/> hardcover books
