Hector Servadac (aka "Off On A Comet") - Jules Verne (Scribner, Armstrong, 1878)
Hector Servadac (aka "Off On A Comet") - Jules Verne (Scribner, Armstrong, 1878). First American edition. Translated by Ellen E. Frewer. Hector Servadac was first published in France (Hetzel Edition, 1877). The English translation by Ellen E. Frewer, was published in England by Sampson Low (November 1877), and the U.S. by Scribner, Armstrong. The Frewer translation alters the text considerably with additions and emendations, paraphrases dialogue, and rearranges material, although the general thread of the story is followed. The translation was made from the serial version of the novel, published January to December 1877.
