There is the excellent introduction of "The Mysterious Island" by
William Butcher (the translation is by Syd Kravitz of course)
http://home.netvigator.com/~wbutcher/books/mi%20crit%20mat.htm
and the notes by the same author
http://home.netvigator.com/~wbutcher/books/mi%20notes.htm

To my opinion the better texts about the story of Tabor Island/Maria
Theres(i)a Reef (and also the better comments about L'île mysterieuse,
there are no equivalent in French).

Try also search in google using Maria Theresa Reef as keyword

Regards,
Jean-Pierre
