{{Tr|an unknown hand}}. This translation begins: ""Go on; I am listening." "I have the honour to ask you for your daughter's hand." "Alice?" "Yes. My request seems to surprise you. Perhaps you will forgive me if I have some difficulty understanding why it appears so strange. I am twenty-six years old; my name is Victor Cyprien; I am a mining engineer, and left the Polytechnic as second on the list. My family is honest and respected, if it is not rich.""
Format is post 8vo. Novel ends on page 263. Followed by a page with printer information then a 32 page publisher's catalogue. The title page states "Illustrated", but the images match those from the original French edition by Léon Benett. Sources:
