{{Tr|Jacqueline Baldick and Robert Baldick}}. This translation begins: (Preliminary Chapter) "During the year 186—, the whole world was greatly excited by an experiment unprecedented in the history of science. The members of the Gun Club, an association of artillerymen formed in Baltimore after the American Civil War, had conceived the idea of putting themselves in communication with the moon—yes, with the moon—by means of a projectile."
