Around the Moon
by Jules Verne, translated by Lewis Page Mercier & Eleanor E. King
Around the Moon, Jules Verne's sequel to From the Earth to the Moon, is a science fiction novel continuing the trip to the moon which left the reader in suspense after the previous novel. — Excerpted from Around the Moon on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

This etext has been provided by Project Gutenberg. It is the second half of Project Gutenbergetext 83, From the Earth to the Moon and a Trip Around It, published by Scribners (US) and Sampson Low (UK), one of the earliest Gutenberg texts. It was typed in by Richard Schroppel, and has been continuously changed by various anonymous editors attempting to convert units of measurement, orthography etc. The quality of the book (and hence the etext) is low since it omits about 15% of the French text including most of the science and makes other technical errors. The restored and edited version by N. Wolcott and C. Sánchez restores the missing parts of the Mercier-King translation, and shows what is missing.
