188893631888. A Tale of the American Civil War. With Numerous Illustrations. London: Sampson Low Marston Searle & Rivington 1888. Original blue-grey cloth pictorially decorated in black and red all page edges gilt. First British Edition of this adventure tale taking place during the American Civil War. This is the tale of the antagonism between Burbank an anti-slavery Northerner now living near Jacksonville Florida and Texar a pro-slavery Southerner; Texar winds up kidnapping Burbank's daughter and hiding her in the Everglades and Burbank heads off in search of his daughter -- all as the Civil War rages around them. NORD CONTRE SUD came out in France in 1887 and by the end of the summer of that year the American pirate publisher George Munro came out with TEXAR'S VENGEANCE in his wrappered Seaside Library. In November 1887 Rand McNally published a hardbound American edition a different translation titled TEXAR'S REVENGE. Then this British edition hardbound and illustrated and the same translation as Rand McNally's came out in December 1887 though dated 1888. These were soon followed by Worthington's New York 1888 edition of TEXAR'S REVENGE. The book did not get good reviews in America: the New York Daily Tribune wrote In Jules Verne's story of "Texar". a very thin streak of narrative is padded to almost unwieldy proportions by a quantity of remarkably inaccurate information about the rebellion. If anyone thought the game worth the candle it would be easy to point out the various comical inaccuracies in the historical part of the story. quoted in T&M This copy is in the deluxe binding style with all edges gilt; its condition is very good -- spine a bit sunned as always volume slightly askew. This is a Verne title that we seldom see. Taves & Michaluk V033. unknown books

Davidow consider it one of Verne's best books. Davidow wrote "Jules Verne has written no better book than this in fact it is deservedly ranked as one of the most thrilling tales ever written."

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.

1877105151877. Translated by W. H. G. Kingston. With Numerous Illustrations. London: Sampson Low Marston Searle & Rivington 1877. 24 pp ads dated Oct 1876. Original green cloth pictorially decorated in black and gilt beveled all edges gilt. First British Edition of this historical tale of adventure taking place during a Siberian revolt. The first publication in English in October 1876 was in a wrappered American edition by Frank Leslie; this U.K. edition profusely illustrated and in a handsome pictorial binding came out two months later in December 1876 despite the 1877 date on the title page. It is noteworthy that MICHAEL STROGOFF is listed in this October ad catalogue -- though that does not mean that the book had necessarily been published by then. The binding of this copy is one of two variants priority unknown: both have the same front cover and spine pictorial panels but the front cover of this copy includes "Jules Verne" but not "The Courier of the Czar" while some copies show the opposite and the spine has a variant gilt panel behind the title. The publisher's monogram blind-stamp on the rear cover is also in a different style than on some copies. This is a near-fine copy with minor rubbing at the extremities but overall with very little wear or soil; atypically for this hefty volume the delicate original pale yellow endpapers are not cracked. This first British edition is quite uncommon and does not seem to turn up in any better condition. Taves & Michaluk V015; Edwards 15. unknown books
