129 Illustrations

314pp.
Frontispiece & 24 full page b&w illustrations
and 129 b&w vignettes

This IS getting confusing!
Routledge put out the First part using BOTH alternatives
to the name:
- A Journey to the North Pole
- The English at the North Pole
AND they use the same cover design except the title
AND they are both dated 1875 !!!

"From Messrs. Ward, Lock and Tyler:
The English at the North Pole, being part of the Voyages and Adventures of Captain Hatteras, and now published in the well-printed series of shilling books in illuminated paper covers, known as the "Jules Verne Library"."
Does this imply there is a Wraps version of this?

Thank you to Philip Hollaway Preface to The English at the North Pole, by William T Stead in this volume: "The English at the North Pole us one of the most brilliant of Jules Verne's romantic stories. Like all of his tales, it is worked out with great skill and thourough knowledge of the subject, and is based on a solid foundation of fact. In this story he gives a very graphic and truthful description of real Arctic travel and hardships, for although the Forward started on her adventurous voyage in 1860, the dangers the Arctic explorer has to encoounter to-day are the same as confronted Captain Hatteras and his companions, although modern science has given him a much better equipment to overcome them with. The Map on the next page will be of considerable assistance in following the Forward in her efforts to force her way northwards. At the time she was doing this the "farthest North" record was held by Lieut. Parry, who in 1820 reached latitude 82 degrees 45 mins, although an American, Dr. Kane, leader of the Grinnell expedition in 1854, passed the 82nd degree and was given the credit of having penetrated nearest to the Pole. The route by which Jules Verne sends his party in the final journey is very much the same as that followed by Dr. Cook in his recent "dash to the Pole." The story was originally written in two parts, called respectively *The English at the North Pole* and The Field of Ice. By omitting most of the lengthy descriptions of previous expeditions which Jules Verne puts into the mouths of different members of the expedition -- descriptions of considerable educational interest, but having nothing whatever to do with the tale - I have been able to include the whole story of the discovery of the North Pole, as told by Jules Verne, in one book, and a very remarkable story it is. Of Jules Verne himself there is little need to say anyting. After Henty he is probably the most popular writer amongst the youth of this generation. His wonderful imagination was backed by great techincal knowledge and painstaking accuracy in details. There is seldom anything in his stories really outside the bounds of probability. Altough his Clipper of the Clouds, when he wrote it, was looked upon as the fanciful imagination of a romancist, the arrival of heavier-than-air machines soaring gracefully through the air shows that he was merely many years ahead of his contemporaries. The submarine which his fancy use for the journey in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is merely the forerunner of those which are now deemed a necessary part of every up-to-date fleet. His death quite recently was a serious loss to the youth of the world. William T. Stead"
