The Mysterious Island Trilogy: Dropped From the Clouds Abandoned and The Secret of the Island.
London: Sampson Low Marston Low & Searle 1875. First editions in English of each volume in Jules Verne's The Mysterious Island trilogy. Octavo three volumes in the original publisher's pictorial cloth all edges gilt illustrated with engravings including tissue-guarded frontispieces. Translated from the French by W.H.G. Kingston. Each volume is in very good condition. Ownership inscriptions. A very sharp set. Often referred to as the "Father of Science Fiction" French novelist Jules Verne had a wide influence on on the literary avant-garde and on surrealism. His collaboration with the publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel led to the creation of the Voyages Extraordinaires a widely popular series of scrupulously researched adventure novels including Journey to the Center of the Earth 1864 Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea 1870 and Around the World in Eighty Days 1873. Verne's The Mysterious Island is a crossover sequel to Verne's famous Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and In Search of the Castaways though its themes are vastly different from those books. An early draft of the novel initially rejected by Verne's publisher and wholly reconceived before publication was titled Shipwrecked Family: Marooned with Uncle Robinson indicating the influence of Defoe's Robinson Crusoe and Johann David Wyss' Swiss Family Robinson on the thematic structure of the trilogy. In September of 1875 Sampson Low Marston Low and Searle published the first British edition of Mysterious Island in three volumes entitled Dropped from the Clouds The Abandoned and The Secret of the Island. The trilogy has been adapted numerous times for film television and radio broadcast. Sampson Low, Marston, Low & Searle hardcover books

THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND. consisting of: Part I. DROPPED FROM THE CLOUDS. plus: Part II. ABANDONED. plus: Part III. THE SECRET OF THE ISLAND
1876. a handsome set Together three volumes. Translated from the French by W.H.G. Kingston. Second Edition. London: Sampson Low Marston Searle & Rivington 1876. 3 pp undated ads in Part III. Original green cloth pictorially decorated in black and gilt. First English Edition second impression of all three volumes that were sold separately but which together form one of Verne's greatest tales. The translation unfortunately was effected by W.H.G. Kingston whose translation changed the hero's name from Smith to Harding. Further Kingston abridged or omitted many of the technical passages indicating the castaway's scientific development of the island. Verne's anti-imperialist sentiments expressed by the dying Captain Nemo were also reversed by Kingston so as not to offend English readers. Unfortunately Kingston's became the standard translation to this day inflicting his omissions and distortions on English-language readers. T&M Sampson Low's first edition all three volumes dated 1875 in a variety of cloth colors came out in September 1875. T&M records their second impression as coming out in February 1879 -- but here we have the second impression of all three volumes with "Second Edition" on each title page all dated 1876. The three Sampson Low first impressions seldom turn up on the market as a set especially in the same color cloth; these second impressions only in green are quite scarce as well as evidenced by T&M's not having seen them. In any event this is a handsome matched set of the English second impression page edges plain the first impression's page edges were gilded. All three volumes are in attractive just-about-fine condition with scarcely any external soil or wear only the very slightest of rubbing at the edges; a few leaves at each end of each volume have light foxing; even the original delicate peach-colored endpapers are clean and uncracked. Given the extreme scarcity of the first impressions over several decades we have offered only one set in this condition at $22500 this set of second impressions is highly collectible.

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 books

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.

THE SURVIVORS OF THE CHANCELLOR
1876. Diary of J. R. Kazallon Passenger. Translated from the French by Ellen Frewer. Boston: James R. Osgood and Company 1876. Original green cloth pictorially decorated in black and gilt beveled. First American Illustrated Edition actually printed in London. In mid-1875 Osgood published the first edition in English unillustrated as a little volume in their "Saunterer's Series." In November 1875 Sampson Low published the first illustrated edition in London. Then in January 1876 Osgood issued some of the British sheets in their own binding constituting the first American illustrated edition -- as here. In March 1876 -- just two months later -- Osgood's financial situation forced him to sell at auction the plates and unsold copies of the five Verne titles he had published; these were bought by one Albert Mason who in turn sold them to Porter & Coates of Philadelphia -- who would then proceed to use the plates to publish editions of their own. Porter & Coates also issued some copies with the Osgood 1876 title page but with "Porter & Coates" at the foot of the spine. As with the British edition the volume also includes the early Verne tale "Martin Paz" though it is not mentioned on the binding nor on the title page. This copy is in green cloth and the gilt vignette on the front cover is centered no known priority. It is a bright near-fine copy fine except for minor rubbing at the extremities. Apparently because of Osgood's then-pending doom this is today a scarce book. Taves & Michaluk V014; Myers 47. <br/><br/> hardcover books

Opts for honorable suicide by arranging for a friend to kill him. Learns that his fortune isn't lost after all. Tells friend thanks but there is no need to kill him. Friend replies that he has already arranged for some thug to do the deed and now can't contact him. This Dutton edition was actually published in October 1880 exactly a year after Lee and Shepard of Boston published the first edition in English which was unillustrated and was in a plain binding. Although this Dutton edition comes from the British sheets including the same binding design the same plates and even an ad leaf for Verne's works with prices in sterling it was published a month earlier than Sampson Low's first British edition.

THE TRIBULATIONS OF A CHINAMAN
1881. Translated by Ellen E. Frewer. Illustrated by L. Benett. New York: E. P. Dutton and Company 1881. One page undated ads priced in sterling. Original bright red cloth decorated in black and gilt. First Illustrated American Edition also the first to be issued in a decorative cloth binding of one of Verne's odder tales. Wealthy Chinaman hears that his fortune is lost. Opts for honorable suicide by arranging for a friend to kill him. Learns that his fortune isn't lost after all. Tells friend thanks but there is no need to kill him. Friend replies that he has already arranged for some thug to do the deed and now can't contact him. This Verne title is also unusual in that all three early publishers of this tale on both sides of the Atlantic ultimately published it in the exact same cloth binding showing several characters "afloat on their backs propelled by the wind caught in minisails attached to toe-masts controlled by waistband halyards" T&M. The first edition in English was published in September 1879 by Lee & Shepard of Boston translated by Virginia Champlin and unillustrated both in wrappers and in plain cloth. By November George Munro then published it in wrappers in his Seaside Library. About a year later October 1880 but dated 1881 Dutton of New York published the tale as here from the British plates a different translation by Ellen Frewer -- with fifty full-page illustrations from the original French edition and in the binding designed by Sampson Low. In November Sampson Low published it in England perhaps waiting to make it a holiday offering. Finally a year after this September or October 1881 Lee & Shepard re-published the Champlin translation but with the fifty illustrations that had appeared in the Dutton and Sampson Low editions and in the same binding they had used. This copy is in bright red cloth one of several colors used without priority and is in near-fine condition just a hint of wear at the spine ends but unusually bright; the front endpaper bears a Christmas 1880 gift inscription verifying the book's actual year of publication.

TICKET NO. "9672
1899. Translated from the French by Laura E. Kendall. Chicago: M. A. Donohue & Co. n.d. 3 pp undated ads. Original green cloth pictorially decorated in black light blue and peach. First American hardbound edition. UN BILLET DE LOTERIE was first published in France in 1886 and that same year George Munro of New York was the first to publish this in English -- in two self-wrappered volumes of his "Seaside Library" the first volume was published by July 1886 and the second by December 1886. In between these two in August Sampson Low published the first British edition as THE LOTTERY TICKET. Munro being of course a pirate publisher his business went downhill fast after the passage of the International Copyright Act in 1891 clearly George did not offer enough "soft money" to his legislators. His "Seaside Library" publications became the property of Donohue of Chicago and this book published "by the turn of the century" T&M is one result: though mentioning only "Ticket No. 9672" on the binding and title page it also includes various other former "Seaside Library" numbers by other authors including Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher" and "The Pit and the Pendulum." There were no other American editions of this Verne tale between the Munro two-volume wrappered first and this Donahue one -- making this the first American hardbound edition. Both the front cover and the spine portray lighter-than-air flying machines. The usual problem for this book is the erosion of the peach-colored pigment used on the binding and this copy is no exception: although the book has very little overall wear the peach is entirely missing from the spine in fact it appears never to have been applied there and partly from the front cover.

TOPSY TURVY
1890. New York: J. S. Ogilvie n.d. 1890. 1 page preliminary ads plus 2 pp terminal ads. Original dark blue-green cloth. First American Edition and first edition in the English language. This is the sequel to Verne's "Moon" books of many years earlier: quoting from the preliminary ad leaf this is the story of How the Americans bought the North Pole and planned to change the axis of the Earth making the Arctic regions bloom like the Tropics by the explosion of a stupendous cannon. This tale is a good example of Verne's growing cynicism: whereas in the 1870s he has the Baltimore Gun Club using its gigantic cannon to explore the moon here the club has purchased land in the Arctic so that they can reap huge profits when that land becomes tropical. "Topsy Turvy" appeared in English in the January 19 1890 issue of New York World -- at the same time that newspaper's famous reporter Nellie Bly was attempting to beat Phileas Fogg's record time around the world. It was at some point soon thereÂafter that this Ogilvie edition No. 183 of "The Favorite Series" with ten illustrations was published the wrappered version in Ogilvie's "Fireside Series" is dated January 1890 on its wrapper. Sampson Low's British edition THE PURCHASE OF THE NORTH POLE was not published until December of that year with twenty chapters; both the original French edition and Ogilvie's edition have twenty-one. This copy is clean and unworn -- fine except that the endpapers have damage from overzealous erasure. As always the text paper itself is browned and brittle -- as Ogilvie produced as cheap a book as it could. This is quite an uncommon Verne volume. Taves & Michaluk V035; Myers 53. unknown books

Verne Jules
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas
London: Sampson Low Martson Low & Searle 1873. First edition in English. Very Good. Rare first English language edition of Verne's classic work preceding the American edition and much scarcer than the 1873 Smith or Osgood US printings. Publisher's original red cloth stamped in black and gilt rebacked with portions of the spine replaced. Original peach end papers with a contemporary gift inscription and Burns Bindery ticket. All page edges gilt. Generally in good condition internally. A young reader has written comments at the end of the book in pencil that could be erased but we've left them as they are kind of charming. Finally publisher's catalogue "For the season 1872-73" has six pages not eight as seen in some other copies. Whether it's lacking the final advertisement leaf or whether it was issued as such we cannot say. A Very Good copy overall of a very scarce book. A similar copy also rebacked and in cloth brought $8750 at auction Heritage 2018.<br/><br/>"Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is arguably Verne's masterpiece. As a classic it has aged wonderfully well: it is escapist fun but it still retains its literary and scientific significance. To dismiss it as simply an adventure story does it a disservice.it is also an eerie tale of isolation and madness packed full with geographica; and scientific accuracies that make the fantastic uncomfortably believable" The Guardian. A work of incredible imagination the novel follows the expedition and capture of Professor Pierre Aronnax as he scours the ocean deeps in search of a mysterious "sea monster" reportedly attacking international vessels. As it turns out the fabulous beast spotted off the coast of New York turns out to be the Nautilus a secret underwater ship constructed for and commanded by Captain Nemo. An incredible work of adventure that explores the depths of the human psyche. Very Good. Sampson Low, Martson, Low, & Searle unknown books
