GODFREY MORGAN
1883. A Californian Mystery. Translated by W. J. Gordon. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons n.d. 1883. Original aqua-grey cloth pictorially decorated in black. First American hardbound edition of this tale originally published the year before as L'ECOLE DES ROBINSONS. The New York Times panned this effort as cited in T&M: M. Jules Verne has never written books strongly marked with common sense; they have on the contrary offered unusual examples of the violation of all sensible ideas and the successful violation. But when it comes to Godfrey Morgan's trip around the world the submergeable steamer the plot to give him a taste of that Robinson Crusoe life of which he had dreamed the strain is too great. We are eager to be fooled but the fooling must have some semblance of art; it must not be bald imbecility. Jules Verne has no right to inveigle the public into buying such a book on the strength of his former novels; it is an abuse of the good-nature of the public. Scribner would not issue GODFREY MORGAN again. George Munro managed as usual to produce the first edition in English for his self-wrappered "Seaside Library" in January 1883; Sampson Low's British edition fully illustrated came out in March of that year followed by this Scribner edition from the British sheets in October. Whereas the British edition shows on its front cover Godfrey firing on lions and tigers from his perch inside a tree the Scribner edition shows Tartlet stumbling as he runs from a hungry crocodile. This copy is in aqua-grey cloth; we have also seen dark brown and light orange-brown no priority. It is a very good-plus copy with very light wear at the spine ends and very minor darkening of the cloth. Taves & Michaluk V024; Myers 29. unknown books

HECTOR SERVADAC
1878. Translated by Ellen E. Frewer. With Numerous Illustrations. London: Sampson Low Marston Searle & Rivington 1878. Original olive green cloth pictorially decorated in black and gilt all edges gilt. First English Edition of this tale in which the heroes are carried away through space upon the comet "Gallia" visiting much of the solar system. The cover but not the title page bears the sub-title "The Career of a Comet." In September 1877 George Munro issued a pirated wrappered version of this tale in their "Seaside Library"; a month later the Philadelphia firm of Claxton Remsen & Haffelfinger issued the first half of this tale in a clothÂbound volume. Then in November 1877 though dated 1878 this authorized Sampson Low edition in England and an authorized Scribner Armstrong edition were both published the entire tale not just the first half. This copy is in olive green cloth; we have also seen terra-cotta and light lilac-brown no priority. Condition is very good spine a bit dull; the volume has been recased within its original binding preserving the original endpapers reinforced at the inner hinges. This is one of Verne's most intriguing space exploration tales. Taves & Michaluk V016; Edwards 16. unknown books

MERIDIANA: The Adventures of Three Englishmen and Three Russians in South Africa
1873. a handsome copy Translated from the French. With Numerous Illustrations. London: Sampson Low Marston Low & Searle 1873. 32 pp ads dated October 1872. Original green cloth pictorially decorated in black and gilt beveled all edges gilt.<br/><br/> First British Edition also the first edition in the English language. Three Englishmen. and three Russians. and their guide a bushman named Mokoum set out to measure the arc of a meridian in the Kalahari Desert of South Africa. Everything is going well until war is declared between England and Russia. Kytasaari This tale was initially published in the original French in 1872 as AVENTURES DE TROIS RUSSES ET DE TROIS ANGLAIS DANS L'AFRIQUE AUSTRALE. Sampson Low's English edition titled MERIDIANA with the subtitle's nationalities reversed in favor of the Englishmen was issued in November 1872 but was dated 1873 as here. In the same month some of these copies printed and bound in England were exported to the U.S. and equipped with the title page of Scribner's import house Scribner Welford and Armstrong likewise dated 1873 -- technically the American issue of the first English edition and extremely scarce today. Scribner Armstrong sans Welford then published the first edition actually produced in America; there was also an unauthorized American edition by Shepard titled ADVENTURES IN THE LAND OF THE BEHEMOTH with an altered translation and fewer illustrations published on the very same day. This edition has one of the great Verne pictorial bindings: a phalanx of crocodiles hungrily approaches an oblivious man holding a parasol. This copy is in green cloth one of several colors used without priority and has an ad catalogue dated October 1872 -- which we think is the earliest date we have also seen October 1873. The volume is just a little askew as always and a few gatherings stand slightly proud but this is a fine bright copy without any restoration or "improvement" of any kind. An early Verne edition that is quite scarce in this condition. Taves & Michaluk V009; Myers 39. unknown books
