{{Tr|Lewis Mercier and Eleanor E. King}}. This translation begins: (Preliminary Chapter, unnumbered with long subtitle) "During the year 186β€”, the whole world was greatly excited by a scientific experiment unprecedented in the annals of science. The members of the Gun Club, a circle of artillerymen formed at Baltimore after the American war, conceived the idea of putting themselves in communication with the moon!β€”yes, with the moon,β€”by sending to her a projectile."

"Translated from the French by Louis Mercier, M.A. (Oxon), and Eleanor E. King." --stated on the 1873 omnibus title page, where the 1874 US and 2013 Project Gutenberg eds. differ only as "M.A., (Oxon,)"
