I've just found out that in 2014, Britain will finally hold a long-awaited referendum on whether Scotland should be independent.
In (yes, you knew this was coming, sorry I keep bringing it up, I love the book) "Les Enfants du capitaine Grant," which takes place EXACTLY a century and a half earlier, Verne expounds at length on that very question, highlighting the need for such a decision.
Verne the Prophet turns up again?
