Viewed in HTML format, print page numbers are bracketed in the right margin. [276] and [277] are spurious, as the last story ends on page 275.

Poe

The Story of the Sun, New Edition (1928), p. 56

Locke had spoiled a promising tale for Poe--who tore up the second installment of Hans Pfaall when he "found that he could add very little to the minute and authentic account of Sir John Herschel"--but the poet took pleasure, in later years, in picking the Sun's moon story to bits.
"That the public were misled, even for an instant," Poe declared in his critical essay on Locke's writings, "merely proves the gross ignorance which, ten or twelve years ago, was so prevalent on astronomical topics."

1835-08-21 notice --from Hoaxes.org

[page 2] The New York Sun.
Friday Morning, August 21, 1835.
Office of Sun removed to the corner of Nassau and Spruce streets, opposite the City Hall.
Celestial discoveries.--The Edinburgh Courant says--"We have just learnt from an eminent publisher in this city [Edinburgh] that Sir John Herschel, at the Cape of Good Hope, has made some astronomical discoveries of the most wonderful description, by means of an immense telescope of an entirely new principle."
[Day 1, page 2]
We this morning commence the publication of a series of extracts from the new Supplement to the Edinburgh Journal of Science, which have been very politely furnished us by a medical gentleman immediately from Scotland, in consequence of a paragraph which appeared on Friday last from the Edinburgh Courant. The portion which we publish to day is introductory to celestial discoveries of higher and more universal interest than any, in any science yet known to the human race.
September
"Nevertheless, the Sun did make a large profit from the moon hoax. It did so by selling the complete text of the lunar discoveries as a special-edition pamphlet that it put on sale on August 31 for one shilling. It also sold various lithographic prints showing fanciful scenes of Herschel's lunar discoveries, such as the lunar animals and the Ruby Colosseum. It commissioned the production of these prints from the Wall Street lithographers Norris & Baker.
The Sun never shared sales figures for the pamphlet and prints, but according to William Gowans, writing in 1859, it sold 60,000 pamphlets in less than a month. This would have been a huge financial windfall for the paper. These pamphlets are now collector's items. Only sixteen of them are known to still exist, and they sell for as much as $2000 each.
16 September

"Certain correspondents have been urging us to come out and confess the whole to be a hoax; but this we can by no means do, until we have the testimony of the English or Scotch papers to corroborate such a declaration." (NY Sun, Sep. 16, 1835)

Nicollet?

Hoaxes.org The mystery of Locke's astronomical knowledge led to speculation that he wasn't the true author of the lunar narrative, or that he wasn't the sole author. But it was only after Locke died that the names of other possible authors began to be suggested.
In 1872, the mathematician Augustus De Morgan published A Budget of Paradoxes in which he suggested that a French scientist, Jean-Nicolas Nicollet, authored the lunar narrative. Nicollet was living in America at the time of the publication of the moon hoax, having left France, apparently because he was fleeing creditors. According to De Morgan:
[quoting De Morgan] "There is no doubt that it [the lunar narrative] was produced in the United States, by M. Nicollet, an astronomer, once of Paris, and a fugitive of some kind... The moon-story was written, and sent to France, chiefly with the intention of entrapping M. Arago, Nicollet's especial foe, into the belief of it. And those who narrate this version of the story wind up by saying that M. Arago was entrapped, and circulated the wonders through Paris, until a letter from Nicollet to M. Bouvard explained the hoax."

All around the Moon [long header]
It is not often the case that translations are, like the present one, an improvement on the original, especially when the original work is such an admirable one as that from which this translation is made. We noticed the first part, published under the title of The Baltimore Gun Club, some time ago, favorably, and have been even more pleased with this sequel.
Mr. Roth calls the book a free translation, but this term hardly conveys the idea of the adaptation which he has really made of the text. Verne certainly intended, when he laid the scene in America, to make the characters, incidents, and conversation thoroughly American, and he succeeded as well as could have been expected; but the task was one simply impossible for a foreigner, and any translation at all approaching to literal exactness, no matter by whom made, would have been sure to have shared the defects of the text. Mr. Roth, therefore, to carry out the author's idea, had practically to rewrite the book in such a way as to preserve the genius of the conception while altering the details in a way which required an ability like that of the author himself.
Besides having made the book really an American one, he has added to its scientific merit by a fuller explanation of the problem which is the nucleus of the story.
The "Moon Hoax," which is appended, was probably the most successful and best contrived of all the scientific canards which have ever appeared. It was written more than forty years ago, but its memory has not yet died out, and it was so cleverly done as to be well worthy of this reprint.
The book is illustrated by twenty-four cuts, besides the map of the moon mentioned in the title. It would really have been better without the rather clap-trap additional [sic] about the Centennial at its close, but this makes it all the more American, and may be excusable under the circumstances.

The Sun (Baltimore) 1874-06-30 p2 "The Baltimore Gun Club" (no price)
(middle of the one long paragraph) "... The translator of this, Mr. Edward Roth, formerly resided in Baltimore, and is distinguished as a successful educator of youth. He does not profess to give a literal translation, but takes some liberties not affecting its inherent merit, but making it more attractive and familiar to American readers. The author begins by referring to the proficiency of the Americans in gunnery in the late civil war, says that a club was started, (in Baltimore,) every member of which was required to have invented, or at least improved, a cannon, or if not a cannon, a firearm of some kind."
Lit World 5.2 1874-07-01 p27 "Minor Book Notices" [p28] quoting Roth "In this volume," says the translator, Edward Roth, "the reader has Jules Verne done into real English, corrected, edited, annotated, revised--improved."

The ebook (viewed in HTML format) contains no images and does not represent print page numbers or divisions. Following the title screen, its Contents list is a transcript with page numbers omitted, with all listings are hyperlinked to the same headings within the text below.

The ebook ends with a 12-line "Note" that is not distinguished from the end of the novel, which identifies corrections made by the Gutenberg scribe.

Parke/Daniels/Gutenberg text omits chapter II.III "Comets, Old and New." That is a clean break, without disruption because the Frewer ch 4 continues smoothly from ch 2 (as if ch 3 were an afterthought inserted).

quote end] They were all fairly bewildered. [] “Where, then,” cried Servadac eagerly, “where are we?” [] “You are on my comet, on Gallia itself!” [] And the professor gazed around him with a perfect air of triumph.
quote start] “Yes, my comet!” repeated the professor, and from time to time he knitted his brows, and looked around him with a defiant air, as though he could not get rid of the impression that someone was laying an unwarranted claim to its proprietorship, or that the individuals before him were intruders upon his own proper domain.

Horne 1911 "Introduction to Volume 9":

In one way “Off on a Comet” shows a marked contrast to Verne’s earlier books. Not only does it invade a region more remote than even the “Trip to the Moon,” but the author here abandons his usual scrupulously scientific attitude.

... / ... / But once granted the initial and the closing extravagance, the departure and return of his characters, the alpha and omega of his tale, how closely the author clings to facts between!" --NO COMMENT ON TEXT, LACKING Ch II.III

(The Underground City) [Same year 1877] "was published also the tale variously named and translated as "The Black Indies", "The Underground City", and "The Child of the Cavern". This story, like “Round the World in Eighty Days” was first issued in “feuilleton” by the noted Paris newspaper “Le Temps.”

“Nothing, sir, can induce me to surrender my claim.”
“I am sorry for it, count, but in such a matter your views cannot modify mine.”
“But allow me to point out that my seniority unquestionably gives me a prior right.”
“Mere seniority, I assert, in an affair of this kind, cannot possibly entitle you to any prior claim whatever.”
“Then, captain, no alternative is left but for me to compel you to yield at the sword’s point.”
“That's As you please, count; but neither sword nor pistol can ever force me to forego my pretensions. Here is my card.”
“And mine.”
This rapid altercation was thus brought to an end by the formal interchange of the names of the disputants.

[SFE3] Hector Servadac: voyages et aventures à travers le monde solaire (1 January-15 December 1877 Magasin d'Éducation et de Récréation; 1877 2vols; trans Ellen Elizabeth Frewer as Hector Servadac 1877; ¶ vt adapted by Adam Roberts from the above translation as Off on a Comet; Or, Hector Servadac: Travels and Adventures Around the Solar System 2007) is perhaps the most remarkable of Verne's mid-period works: a fragment of the planet is knocked into space by a huge Comet, along with a microcosm of humanity, which survives vacuum and other tribulations, circumnavigates the Sun, and returns two years later to an Earth magically untransformed (as in The Fur Country) by the Disaster. In the introduction to his version of this work, Adam Roberts shows that Hetzel would not permit Verne to close a novel in the midst of a transformed world (indeed, Verne's protagonists normally brings their gifts of travel back to an unchanged Europe).

Wikipedia EN: Publication history

In September 2007, Solaris Books (U.K.) published Off on a Comet as an appendix to Splinter by Adam Roberts, as a slightly edited version of the Parke edition.[citation needed]
In a 2007 blog post on The Guardian, Adam Roberts reviewed one 1877 translation. Roberts felt that the translation was inaccurate and incomplete.[6] Roberts' criticism is, however, somewhat vindicated by the fact that the version of Hector Servadac he was criticizing was the corrupt version of the original Frewer translation found on Project Gutenberg (based on the Parke edition, above), which was made from a different French original than the one he was using.[citation needed]
In October 2007, Choptank Press published an on-line version of Munro's 1877 Hector Servadac, Travels and Adventures through the Solar System [7] edited by Norman Wolcott, followed (December 2007) by Hector Servadac: The Missing Ten Chapters from the Munro Translation[8] newly translated by Norman Wolcott and Christian Sánchez.[citation needed]
In 2008, the Choptank Press published a combined book version Hector Servadac: Travels and Adventures Through the Solar System containing: (I) An enlarged replica of Seaside Library edition #43 as published by George Munro, New York, 1877; (II)A typeset version of the same in large readable type; (III) A new translation of the last 10 chapters from the original French by Norman Wolcott and Christian Sanchez in the literal style of the remainder of the book; and (IV) 100 illustrations from the original publications enlarged to 8 1⁄2-by-11-inch (216 mm × 279 mm) format.[9]
