NOTES
This is an early French edition of Jules Verne's novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas. While lacking a date on the title page, this copy's approximate date of publication can be determined from the list of Verne's writing on the advertisement page in the rear of the book, which covers his published work up to 1880.
