{{Tr|W. H. G. Kingston}}, first published in 1877 as The Child of the Cavern; or, Strange Doings Underground.
This translation begins:
"To Mr. F. R. Starr, Engineer, 30, Canongate, Edinburgh.
If Mr. James Starr will come to-morrow to the Aberfoyle coal-mines, Dochart pit, Yarrow shaft, a communication of an interesting nature will be made to him."
["F. R." appears to be an error. The text continues using "James Starr".]
Interior half-title page [277] of the 1911 Parke edition displays four lines, the last small size:
The Underground City
or
The Black Indies
(Sometimes Called the Child of the Cavern)
Data from publisher website
The ebook (viewed in HTML format) opens with a title screen that displays, above bibliographic data for vol. 9 in the 1911 F. Tyler Daniels ed. of Works of Jules Verne (see at ISFDB), four lines, the last small size:
The Underground City
or
The Black Indies
(Sometimes Called the Child of the Cavern)
Presumably the Gutenberg text is a transcript of that from the F. Tyler Daniels omnibus, but limited to the second of two novels in Works 9, namely The Underground City or The Black Indies.
Gutenberg #1353 (see) evidently contains transcripts of the Introduction and the first of two novels.
