This work is an abridged version of the translation by Agnes Kinloch, wife of W. H. G. Kingston. Kingston's translation was initially published in Britain by Sampson, Low & Marston (1876), and in the United States by various publishers (Charles Scribner's Sons, George Munro) from 1877. Kingston's work is a fairly complete translation of Verne's original. The version here is from volume 8 of "The Works of Jules Verne", edited by Charles F. Horne and published by Vincent Parke and Company in 1911. About 10% of Kingston's original translation has been deleted. The complete version in PDF format is available on Google-books as published by Scribners, and awaits conversion into a new complete text version.
