NY Charles Scribner's Sons 1881; 1882 Two volumes. First American hardcover editions. Translated byW.J. Gordon. Illustrated with numerous plates and a folding map in each volume.

Shortly thereafter Scribner issued this hardcover edition, also in two parts, in December 1881 and September 1882. Of the first volume the New York Times had this to say: "The conversations, descriptions, and illustrations are the same as the other books by Verne, forming altogether a peculiar stage between the books of adventure for boys and for adults." A very good set of this Amazonian adventure, bound in brown pictorial cloth stamped in black and gilt. Minor edgewear, slight fraying of cloth at foot of spines, slight lean to spine of The Cryptogram, both volumes internally fine. (Taves & Michaluck V022).
