185221741Philadelphia: John Sartain & Co 1852. First English Edition. Disbound. Good. First English Edition. A non-contiguous assemblage of material from Sartain's Union Magazine and Godey's Lady's Book from 1851 and 1852. The volume missing the front board would benefit from being disassembled and rebound in it's component parts - half title pages are mis-matched engravings are found in odd places etc. We have not collated this volume and cannot guarantee completeness of the other articles engravings etc other than to note that the Verne and Thoreau articles noted in this description are present and complete and that the issue title pages are also present hence the pricing at well below "market values". There are numerous other interesting items in this assemblage including an early poem with color plate Godey engravings etc etc. Disbound. Contains 2 literary giants in original publications before they were well known - Jules Verne and Henry David Thoreau. The Verne piece "A Voyage in a Balloon" was translated from the French by Anne T. Wilbur. Taves and Michaluk V012 p 143 note that "This was apparently the first time Verne ever appeared in English . The assemblage also contains "The Iron Horse" and "A Poet Buying a Farm" both by Thoreau. These articles are notable for being early contributions to Thoreau's famous work "Walden Or Life in the Woods" published in 1854 which detailed his personal experiences and reflections near Walden Pond in Concord Massachusetts.

1874165801New York: Scribner 1874. 12mo pp. 1-4 i-ii iii-vi vii viii 1-413 414: blank 415-420: ads flyleaves at front and rear 55 full-page illustrations and title page vignette by Riou original brown cloth front and spine panels stamped in black and gold rear panel stamped in blind yellow endpapers. First printing of Scribner Armstrong's "complete" edition published at $3.00 and released in late 1874 or early 1875. This undated 413-page edition with 55 full-page illustrations was preceded by a Scribner Armstrong edition with title page dated 1874 with 384 pages and 52 full-page illustrations a copy of this 1874 edition has been noted signed and dated 4 November 1873 by an early owner. This earlier version was offset from the plates of the British 1872 Sampson Low edition and was offered for sale at $2.00. It is probable that Scribner Armstrong rushed out this early version to compete with the unauthorized edition published in Boston by the Henry L. Shepard & Co. in 1874. Scribner Armstrong's "complete" edition has reset text with printer's imprints on title leaf verso reading "Jas. B. Rogers Co. / Printers and Stereotypers / Philadelphia" and "John F. Trow & Sons / Printers and Bookbinders / 205-213 East 12th St. / New York." Pages 415-420 are publishers' advertisements with a single Verne title FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON DIRECT IN 97 HOURS 20 MINUTES listed on page 420. The title page calls for 52 illustrations by Riou the spine panel for 53 but there are actually a total of 55 full page illustrations in the text as per the "list of illustrations." This "complete" issue published at $3.00 was probably released simultaneously with the "popular" issue 305 pages with 20 illustrations published at 75¢. In any event both editions were available by or before Scribner Armstrong issued the first part of THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND in 1875 as both are advertised on the title leaf verso along with A FLOATING CITY and THE BLOCKADE-RUNNERS the latter noted as "just issued." Regardless of the matter of priority of these Scribner Armstrong editions this "complete" issue is quite scarce and it is a very desirable edition of A JOURNEY TO THE CENTRE OF THE EARTH.
