Beste Garmt,

Hier van mij nog een laat bericht over de hoofdstukken van Mistress Branican.
Ik heb thuis de franse editie van Collection Hetzel, zoals ik je hierbij doe toekomen,
zoal beschreven op de site:

Jules Verne et Hetzel, Cartonnages extraordinaires, by J.A. Marquis

      Volume Double :
      Portrait collé
     

C'est un cartonnage polychrome, avec dos au phare.
Il a été édité de 1891 à 1895, et concerne 28 volumes :

       Voyages et aventures du capitaine Hatteras
       Cinq semaines en ballon/...
       Vingt mille lieues sous les mers
       De la terre à la Lune/...
       Une ville flottante/...
       Le pays des fourrures
       Le docteur Ox/...
       Michel Strogoff
       Les indes noires/...
       Hector Servadac
       Un capitaine de 15 ans
       Les tribulations d'un chinois.../...
       La maison à vapeur
       La Jangada
       L'école des robinsons/...
       Kéraban le têtu
       L'étoile du sud/L'archipel en feu
       Robur le conquérant/...
       Nord contre Sud
       Deux ans de vacances
       Sans dessus-dessous/...
       Famille sans nom
       César Cascabel
       Mistress Branican
       Claudius Bombarnac/...
       Ptit Bonhomme
       Mirifiques aventures de maitre Antifer
       L'ile à hélice

Le milieu du 1er plat est généralement sur fond bleu, mais on connaît quelques exemplaires sur fond vert.
  


Hierin wordt de Jos Meritt's hatmania nog in hoofdstuk III behandeld en
hoofdstuk IV begint met het vertrek van Mistress Branican uit Adelaide.

Helaas kon ik je niet eerder antwoorden ivm de naweeën van een operatie,
maar ik hoop dat ik je toch nog van dienst heb kunnen zijn.

Met vriendelijke groeten,

Willem Dutscher

> Hi all,

> We have reached the beginning of volume 2, and ran into something odd.
> In some editions of the novel, chapter III includes the entire

> Mistress Branican leaving Adelaide (see e.g. the version at
> http://jv.gilead.org.il/zydorczak/bran00.html). In several other
