Does anyone know where to get sales figures or printing runs for
English, American and French editions of Journey to the Centre of the
Earth in the 1860s, 1870s and 1880s?
I am curious as to how widely read JCE was at this time. I suspect that
like today most of the public got their ideas on geology (science) from
mass media (books and newspapers then; TV, books and films now). I want
to compare Verne's geology with what was being taught in universities
and colleges in America at that time.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
John Breyer
