Notes

Originally serialized in Magasin d'Éducation et de Récréation in two parts, each part titled "Vingt mille lieues sous les mers" and sub-titled "Le tour du monde sous-marin" and restarting chapter numbers. Part 1 appeared from 20 Mar, 1869 (issue #121) to 20 Sep, 1869 (issue #133) with illustrations by Riou, de Neuville and J. Verne (map). Part 2 appeared from 5 Oct, 1869 (issue #134) to 20 Jun, 1870 (issue #151) with illustrations by de Neuville and J. Verne (map). Information based on semi-annual bound volumes of Bibliothèque d'éducation et de récréation (11-13), dates sourced from http://www.j-verne.de/verne_hetzel_2.html. The events of the novel are not directly related to the events of ''Les Enfants du capitaine Grant'', but the characters of the two books are linked in ''L'Île mystérieuse'', a subsequent novel. Indiana University Press' version is translated by Emanuel J. Mickel. For information on identifying Jules Verne translations, please see this wiki page.
