From the Earth to the Moon

Jules Verne

First published 1873
Type Novel

{{Tr|Louis Mercier and Eleanor E. King}} This translation begins: (Chapter I. The Gun Club.) "[During the Federal War in the United States] [During the War of the Rebellion] [During the American war of 1861], a new and influential club was established in the city of Baltimore in the state of Maryland. It is well known with what energy the taste for military matters became developed amongst that nation of shipowners, shopkeepers, and mechanics."

This translation was published in The St. James' Magazine and United Empire Review, April to October 1873, beginning under this title on page 67 (Vol. 32, or new series v11, viewed at HathiTrust). The 7 instalments contain numerous illustrations as full-page plates not included in the pagination. HathiTrust Digital Library copies of Vols. 32-33 (n.s. 11-12) contain no title page or index. Following blank pages, the first image in each volume as assembled at HDL is an illustration of From the Earth to the Moon, facing page 1, apparently as frontispieces of the April and October issues.
