‎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 there�after 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.

‎MICHAEL STROGOFF‎

‎1877. The Courier of the Czar. Translated by W. H. G. Kingston. Revised by Julius Chambers. With Ninety Full-Page Illustrations. New York: Scribner Armstrong & Company 1877. 6 pp undated ads. Original green cloth pictorially decorated in black and gilt beveled. First Illustrated and first hard-bound 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. This copy is in green cloth one of several colors used without priority we have also had terra-cotta and red. It is in fine condition with scarcely any wear or soil. We have never seen a copy in better condition. Taves & Michaluk V015; Edwards 15. <br/><br/> hardcover‎

‎THE GREEN RAY‎

‎1883. Translated from the French by Mary de Hauteville. London: Sampson Low Marston Searle & Rivington 1883. 32 pp ads dated Nov 1882. Original ochre cloth pictorially decorated in brown black and green. First British Edition and first edition in English. This tale is a bit different from many of Verne's -- a love story sited in Scotland though as always with its share of scientific imponderables a girl refuses to marry the man her uncles have chosen for her unless she sees the mysterious "green ray" which would tell her it is true love. The front cover shows Helena and Oliver with eyes fixed upon one another while the crowd behind them has all eyes fixed upon "the green ray." This British edition was published in September 1883 -- a month before George Munro's pirated version in his wrappered "Seaside Library"; there was no American hardbound edition of this Verne tale until 1965. In our experience THE GREEN RAY is one of the very few toughest UK first editions of Jules Verne to find today: why we do not know but several others that followed THE GREEN RAY are close in scarcity KERABAN THE INFLEXIBLE of 1884 MATHIAS SANDORF of 1886 A LOTTERY TICKET of 1886 THE CLIPPER OF THE CLOUDS of 1887 NORTH AGAINST SOUTH of 1887 THE PURCHASE OF THE NORTH POLE of 1890 A FAMILY WITHOUT A NAME of 1890 and FOUNDLING MICK of 1895. This copy is in ochre cloth; the one other color we have seen is mauve-grey -- both with the same pictorial design mauve-grey we have seen both with and without gilt pages edges; ochre we have seen only without as here. The ad catalogue in this copy is dated November 1882 -- almost a year before publication -- which is the earliest GREEN RAY ad catalogue we have seen the others being Sept 1883 and Oct 1884. This is a very good copy quite attractive externally but recased within its original binding with stiffened spine and with black tape along the original endpapers' hinges; there is an 1899 school prize inscription on the front endpaper verso.

‎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.

‎DICK SANDS‎

‎1879. The Boy Captain. Translated by Ellen E. Frewer. Illustrated. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons 1879. 26 pp undated ads. Original brown cloth pictorially decorated in black and gilt. First fully-illustrated American edition. A whale hunt in the Pacific Ocean between New Zealand and the Americas ends in tragedy and Dick Sands as the only surviving crew member becomes captain at fifteen years of age. Not possessing the full skills of a sailor Dick tries to get the ship east to the South American coast. However the cook on board has plans of his own and manages to get the ship diverted to eventually land in the country of Angola on the continent of Africa. The cook's plans involve killing Dick and selling the other passengers of the ship into slavery. Kytasaari Published in France as UN CAPITAINE DE QUINZE ANS this tale was first published in English in November 1878 by the American pirate publisher Munro -- titled DICK SAND with no final "S". It was issued in simple green cloth also in two wrappered volumes with 20 illustrations that were somewhat crude due to Munro's eagerness to be first in the marketplace. Sampson Low's authorized London edition was published the following month December at the end of which month Charles Scribner's Sons also published this authorized and fully-illustrated edition dated 1879. DICK SANDS was published by Scribner during the absolute hey-day of ornate American trade bindings -- similar in style to their very elaborate productions of Verne's MICHAEL STROGOFF and HECTOR SERVADAC. However Scribner's DICK SANDS is scarcer than these other two -- perhaps due to the share of market lost to Munro's simple hardbound volume. This copy is in brown cloth; we have also had terra-cotta and green no priority. It is in near-fine condition: the spine ends have very minor wear and the endpaper gutters are reinforced with archival tape and there is a small "Merry Christmas" sticker on the front endpaper but the pictorial binding remains bright and sharp. This is only the third copy of the elusive Scribner DICK SANDS that we have seen in 40 years. See Taves & Michaluk V018 and Myers 15. <br/><br/> hardcover‎

Kytasaari This tale was first published in English in November 1878 by the American pirate publisher Munro -- both in a two-volume wrappered format and in this plain green cloth format "the best manufactured of all Verne books published by Munro". Sampson Low's authorized London edition was published the following month in December at the end of which month Charles Scribner's Sons also pub�lished their edition both dated 1879. Both the Sampson Low and the Scribner editions were titled DICK SANDS with a final "S". This is a fine copy virtually as new. Taves & Michaluk V018; Myers 15. <br/><br/> hardcover‎

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

‎1881. a scarce set in blue 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 blue 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." Samp�son 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 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

‎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.

‎MISTRESS BRANICAN‎

‎1891. Translated from the French by A. Estoclet. Illustrated by L. Benett. New York: Cassell Publishing Company n.d. 1891. Original mint green cloth pictorially decorated in black and gilt. First American Edition and first edition in English of this tale involving shipwreck off the coast of Aboriginal Australia. After her husband John has gone to sea and she loses her only child San Diego resident Dolly Branican goes mad. When she recovers four years later she discovers that her husband's ship was lost at sea. As heir to a substantial fortune during her madness Dolly uses these resources to finance the discovery of the whereabouts of her husband's ship the Franklin because she doesn't believe he is dead. Years later a clue to the fate of the Franklin is discovered in Australia; Dolly quickly goes there to discover that her husband may still be alive in a remote part of northwestern Australia. Kytasaari This undated Cassell edition was published in November 1891 -- the first Verne book to be published in America after the July 1 1891 effective date of the International Copyright Act; Sampson Low's London edition was published a year later in November 1892. This copy is in mint green cloth; we have also had ochre and aqua cloth no priority. This is a remarkably clean copy in near-fine condition one corner bumped a short nick in the spine head; the front endpaper bears a 1932 signature and the rear endpaper bears numerous penciled notes dated 1960.

‎A FLOATING CITY and THE BLOCKADE RUNNERS‎

‎1874. Translated from the French. New York: Scribner Armstrong & Co. 1874. 8 pp undated ads. Original green cloth decorated in black and gilt beveled. First American Edition published in September 1874 -- the same month as Sampson Low's British edition. This volume consists of two separate tales. The first is a fictionalized narrative of Verne's 1867 passage from Liverpool to New York aboard "The Great Eastern" the largest iron ship ever built and one of the wonders of its age. Her length was 692 feet her beam was 120 her paddlewheels and propeller were larger than anything the ocean had ever seen and she was designed to carry more passengers than the Queen Mary. Because of her size "The Great Eastern" was the only ship capable of laying the great Atlantic Cable. The second tale is fictional more in Verne's usual style: a Glasgow shipowner devises an adventurous plan to run the Union blockade of southern ports during the Civil War in order to bring a load of cotton back to his city's 25000 idle looms. This is an unusually bright copy fine except for the merest hint of rubbing at the head of the spine. The original endpapers remain firm and uncracked the plates are sharp and free of foxing and the cover gilt appears to have been applied yesterday. Though not a terribly scarce Verne title it is very seldom that we encounter a copy in this condition. Taves & Michaluk V008; Myers 22. <br/><br/> hardcover‎

‎THE FUR COUNTRY‎

‎1874. Or Seventy Degrees North Latitude. Translated from the French by N. d'Anvers. With One Hundred Illustrations. London: Sampson Low Marston Low & Searle 1874. 1 page undated ads. Original red cloth pictorially decorated in black and gilt beveled all page edges gilt. First British Edition and first edition in English of this tale filled with adventures of a voyage and journey to the ice floes of the far northwestern reaches of Canada. Included is a solar eclipse plus an earthquake which the traveling party is chagrined to discover separates the "land" upon which they have settled into a moving ice floe. There are are one hundred full-page plates many quite dramatic. LE PAYS DES FOURRURES was published in French in 1873 followed by this London edition in November of that year though dated 1874. The translator was "N. d'Anvers" pseudonym for Mrs. Arthur Bell. Osgood's American edition using the same translation was also published by November 22nd possibly preceding the English edition; it too was post-dated 1874. This is one of the deluxe copies with beveled boards and all edges gilt; it is in dark red cloth we have also seen terra-cotta green and blue -- no priority. This is a very good copy rather attractive rebacked with matching dark red cloth that barely peeks out at each end of the spine; the original endpapers are preserved. This is a common occurrence for this UK edition as it is a hefty volume that would fall apart easily; the English edition is considerably scarcer than the American.
