Very light wear at spine tips three tiny tears at crown otherwise an excellent near fine copy. A lovely survival of a major Verne title in striking American trade cloth. In addition to its importance as a landmark of nineteenth-century science fiction the narrative contains extraordinary anticipations of later spaceflight including uncanny parallels to the Apollo program. The Scribner Armstrong edition is the first illustrated American edition and the first obtainable in commerce the true first Newark Printing and Publishing Company 1869 in wrappers surviving in only one known copy Library of Congress. This translation by Mercier and King originally prepared for Sampson Low in London was slightly revised for American publication. In From the Earth to the Moon. and A trip Round It Jules Verne imagines the bold scheme of the Baltimore Gun Club to launch a projectile to the moon. Led by the visionary Impey Barbicane the club constructs a massive space gun in Florida and recruits adventurous companions - Captain Nicholl and the French traveler Michel Ardan - for the unprecedented voyage. The narrative blends scientific speculation with high-spirited adventure dramatizing the technical challenges of space travel while satirizing post-Civil War American enthusiasm for grandiose engineering. Verne's imaginative leap from orbital mechanics to the choice of Florida as the launch site anticipated with uncanny accuracy many aspects of twentieth-century space exploration making these works cornerstones of early science fiction.

Sartain's Union Magazine first Appearances of A Voyage in a Balloon and Walden 1852 Vols. X and XI in One

1852000266Philadelphia: John Sartain & Co. 1852. First Edition . Half Morocco and Marbled Paper. Good Plus. 10" x 6.75. from engravings. Philadelphia: John Sartain & Co. 1852. Verne translation by Anne T. Wilbur. All eight numbers from volumes X and XI of Sartain's Union Magazine January through June 1857 comprising Vol X. with July and August of 1852 - after which Sartain's ceased publication - comprising Vol. XI. Vol. X 516 pp. Vol XI 208 pp. bound as one volume. 10" x 6.75" half black morocco with marbled paper boards. Personalized plate at center cover apparently as produced in the name of Jane A. Warner. Later of the Forbes Library Northampton MA. with that organization's bookplate at front pastedown and perforated stamp at title page other Forbes indication at rear endpapers. Binding is quite scuffed with corners and spine ends thoroughly affected; hinges starting. Sporadic light foxing throughout lightly showing a bit at the Verne first appearance in some margins only not affecting the Thoreau first appearances. Good plus for the volume Very Good plus or better for the textblock as a whole and the subject entries in particular. In the dying months of Sartain's Union Magazine in 1852 it might have been of some benefit had that publisher been able to look to the future and understand the significance of what was contained in the the May July and August numbers: The first appearance in English of Jules Verne "A Voyage in a Balloon" in May and the first appearance of any portion of Henry David Thoreau's Walden two essays "The Iron Horse" in July and "A Poet Buying a Farm" in August. Therein the last Sartain's hardbound volume contained seminal appearances of what would become two of the the most significant and most widely reprinted authors in history in two vastly disparate genres. Sartain's had with its last gasps done with these three short and - at the time - inconspicuous pieces exactly what so many periodical publications of its type and era sought to do. This volume contains all eight months; it appears that some perhaps most other examples of the hardbound volume did not include the July and August numbers containing Thoreau's essays although statistics on this point are unavailable to me. "A Voyage in a Balloon" - as "Un Voyage en Balloon" - was Verne's second tale published originally in France a year earlier. Anne T. Wilbur translated the 7-page story for Sartain's - and even received in the index authorship credit although the story itself is rightly credited. Later to become part of the Doctor Ox aggregations it was - Taves & Michaluk V012 - "apparently the first time Verne ever appeared in English." He would have been about twenty-four years old at the time. The two Thoreau essays - respectively three pages and one page in Sartain's dense double-column presentation - were the first taste ever of Walden which was published in book form two years later in 1854. Bearing as well the seemingly countless articles stories poems and charming engravings which were the stock-in-trade of such publications this one particular dying volume of Sartain's Magazine may be much more significantly a peerless confluence of inchoate genius from two who would thereafter take distinct paths to literary immortality.

VINGT MILLE LIEUES SOUS LES MERS 1st/2nd

1871154VINGT MILLE LIEUES SOUS LES MERS by Jules VerneHetzel Paris December 1871. 1st edition 2nd impression.The exploits of the jaded genius Captain Nemo's war on a warring world as witnessed and thwarted by the brave intellectual Professor Arronax. Widely recognised as Verne's greatest work of fiction cited as the first ever venture into science-fiction this landmark novel has been turned into many exciting movies and translated into every language.Extremely rare first edition of the classic novel in Hetzel's double-volume binding with blank space above the cherub on title page. A number of early print anomalies and errors are noted on the accompanying certificate which the buyer may use to demonstrate this book's authenticity as a First Edition Second Impression issued by Hetzel in December 1871 a month after the first impression release. The volume for sale here includes several noted first impression print anomalies though the legend under the illustration on page 121 confirms it as a Second Impression of the First Edition.Condition: Very Good. The book is covered in a protective outer sheet but has light surface scoring to the covers see photos though curiously none of this appears on the spine leather at all as though the covers were worn on purpose perhaps in order to give a more antiquarian effect - some old French booksellers were let us say eccentric. The interior is overall Very Good with some foxing spots see photos though most pages are clean with the notable exception of the last sheet which has an old stain at the head of the page. One or two pages have closed edge tears of an inch or so nothing serious. No writing inside. Otherwise no pages are turned torn or missing.Please note the books described as "First Edition" on Abebooks are nothing of the sort and should not be allowed to say so. The book for sale here is a genuine First Edition of the novel. This page link shows a good overview by another bookseller of the noted early misprints and anomalies which have been independently noted in the First Edition of Vingt Mille Lieues Sous Les Mers Jules Verne: Book: Details: Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea - ANashYou can see that several of these anomalies appear in the volume for sale here and therefore be certain that you are buying an extremely rare book. All of these errors were cleared up and amended by the publishers in time for the launch of their Second Edition issued in September 1872. The First Edition ran from November 1871 with the Second Impressions released in time for Christmas in December 1871 and with two more releases of the First Editions in 1872 most of which were mixed impressions using older sheets in with newer ones. In fact I will also be listing such a copy here which was bound with two others of Jules Verne's popular contemporary novels.Apart from the blank space above the cherub on the title page the other definitive quality of the First Editions is that they were printed by Jules Bonaventure of Paris as this one was with all later editions being printed by Gauthier-Villars.Postage of this book will be determined according to the buyer's location and the services available to it so the cost will be worked out after purchase then added on. This service will be charged at cost only to the buyer with no profit made in the process and an invoice for it can be presented if desired please request. Hetzel hardcover
