{{Tr|George Makepeace Towle}} and revised and updated by Jacqueline Rogers. This translation begins: "Mr. Phileas Fogg lived, in 1872, at No. 7, Saville Row, Burlington Gardens, the house in which Sheridan died in 1814. He was one of the most prominent members of the London Reform Club, though he never did anything to attract attention: an enigmatic character about whom little was known except that he was a polished man of the world."

The cover shows a detail from a nineteenth century illustration reproduced in Le Petit Journal (photo: Mary Evans Picture Library). Title page has "Revised and updated translation by Jacqueline Rogers". The text follows the Towle translation closely.
