THE STAR OF THE SOUTH: A Tale of the Diamond Fields
1884. complete in Boy's Own issues Complete in six monthly issues 26 weekly issues of: THE BOY'S OWN PAPER. London: The "Leisure Hour" Office November 1884 - April 1885. Original orange printed wrappers. First Appearance in serial form of one of Jules Verne's less-known tales -- published in book form as THE SOUTHERN STAR in the US and as THE VANISHED DIAMOND in the UK. Victor Cyprien a French engineer currently living in the "Diamond Fields" of Griqualand South Africa desires to marry the beautiful daughter of Mr. Watkins a man who holds claims to the land that are the "Diamond Fields." Watkins has other plans for his daughter which includes her staying in South Africa and marrying one of the wealthier diamond miners. To put himself in a better position to win the hand of Alice Victor buys a share and begins working his own claim. However Alice convinces him to return to chemistry and pursue his theory that he can synthesize a diamond. The experiment appears to work as a 243-carat diamond is created and named "The Star of the South" which he gives to Alice. When the diamond is stolen Cyprien and three other potential suitors for the hand of Alice travel across South Africa in pursuit of the suspected culprit. Kytasaari The serialization in BOY'S OWN with the above title began in the weekly number of October 4 1884; beginning with the weekly number of December 6th the title was changed to THE STAR OF THE SETTLEMENT with a footnote allowing that the prior title "had been anticipated by a book already published"; and it ended with the number of March 28 1885. The monthly issues containing four or five weekly issues plus inserted ads and a frontispiece plate not connected to the Verne novel bear the following month's date. Included are numerous dramatic illustrations from the original French edition. Earlier in March 1885 George Munro published his cheap wrappered edition of THE SOUTHERN STAR a different translation than this and in October 1885 Sampson Low published their fully-illustrated hardbound edition of THE VANISHED DIAMOND this same translation. All six monthly issues are complete except that the final one lacks its color plate they were often removed and framed by buyers; one of the other issues has two plates as required and another has a larger folding color plate. Condition is very good-minus -- the main flaw being that the first issue has corner wear bugs mice of the first 18 leaves; otherwise there is just the usual relatively-minor wear of the delicate spines with generally very little soil at this point BOY'S OWN was still using string not staples so there is no staple rust. These are sizable magazines almost 12 inches tall so it is quite difficult to procure them in much better condition. Taves & Michaluk p. 167. <br/><br/> hardcover

THE STEAM HOUSE. Part I. THE DEMON OF CAWNPORE. With: Part II. TIGERS AND TRAITORS
1881. 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.

These two volumes are in blue cloth; we have also seen them in red cloth and much more typically in grey terra-cotta or brown cloth no priority. Both volumes are in just-about-fine condition the merest hint of wear at the spine heads. This is the only set we have ever seen in blue. Taves & Michaluk V021; Myers 46. <br/><br/> hardcover
