Project Guten­berg Etexts are usu­al­ly cre­at­ed from mul­ti­ple edi­tions, all of which are in the Pub­lic Do­main in the Unit­ed States, un­less a copy­right no­tice is in­clud­ed. There­fore, we usu­al­ly do NOT keep any of these books in com­pli­ance with any par­tic­ular pa­per edi­tion.

We are now try­ing to re­lease all our books one year in ad­vance of the of­fi­cial re­lease dates, leav­ing time for bet­ter edit­ing. Please be en­cour­aged to send us er­ror mes­sages even years af­ter the of­fi­cial pub­li­ca­tion date.

Please note nei­ther this list­ing nor its con­tents are fi­nal til mid­night of the last day of the month of any such an­nounce­ment. The of­fi­cial re­lease date of all Project Guten­berg Etexts is at Mid­night, Cen­tral Time, of the last day of the stat­ed month. A pre­lim­inary ver­sion may of­ten be post­ed for sug­ges­tion, com­ment and edit­ing by those who wish to do so.

Most peo­ple start at our sites at: http://guten­berg.net http://pro­mo.net/pg

Those of you who want to down­load any Etext be­fore an­nounce­ment can surf to them as fol­lows, and just down­load by date; this is al­so a good way to get them in­stant­ly up­on an­nounce­ment, as the in­dex­es our cat­aloguers pro­duce ob­vi­ous­ly take a while af­ter an an­nounce­ment goes out in the Project Guten­berg Newslet­ter.

In­for­ma­tion about Project Guten­berg (one page)

We pro­duce about two mil­lion dol­lars for each hour we work. The time it takes us, a rather con­ser­va­tive es­ti­mate, is fifty hours to get any etext se­lect­ed, en­tered, proof­read, edit­ed, copy­right searched and an­alyzed, the copy­right let­ters writ­ten, etc. This pro­ject­ed au­di­ence is one hun­dred mil­lion read­ers. If our val­ue per text is nom­inal­ly es­ti­mat­ed at one dol­lar then we pro­duce $2 mil­lion dol­lars per hour this year as we re­lease fifty new Etext files per month, or 500 more Etexts in 2000 for a to­tal of 3000+ If they reach just 1-2% of the world’s pop­ula­tion then the to­tal should reach over 300 bil­lion Etexts giv­en away by year’s end.

The Goal of Project Guten­berg is to Give Away One Tril­lion Etext Files by De­cem­ber 31, 2001. [10,000 x 100,000,000 = 1 Tril­lion] This is ten thou­sand ti­tles each to one hun­dred mil­lion read­ers, which is on­ly about 4% of the present num­ber of com­put­er users.

At our re­vised rates of pro­duc­tion, we will reach on­ly one-​third of that goal by the end of 2001, or about 4,000 Etexts un­less we man­age to get some re­al fund­ing.

The Project Guten­berg Lit­er­ary Archive Foun­da­tion has been cre­at­ed to se­cure a fu­ture for Project Guten­berg in­to the next mil­len­ni­um.

We need your do­na­tions more than ev­er!

As of Ju­ly 12, 2001 con­tri­bu­tions are on­ly be­ing so­licit­ed from peo­ple in: Arkansas, Col­orado, Con­necti­cut, Delaware, Flori­da, Geor­gia, Hawaii, Ida­ho, Illi­nois, In­di­ana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Mas­sachusetts, Min­neso­ta, Mis­souri, Mon­tana, Ne­bras­ka, New Mex­ico, Neva­da, New Jer­sey, New York, North Car­oli­na, Ohio, Ok­la­homa, Ore­gon, Rhode Is­land, South Car­oli­na, South Dako­ta, Ten­nessee, Texas, Utah, Ver­mont, Vir­ginia, Wash­ing­ton, West Vir­ginia, Wis­con­sin, and Wyoming.

We have filed in about 45 states now, but these are the on­ly ones that have re­spond­ed.

As the re­quire­ments for oth­er states are met, ad­di­tions to this list will be made and fund rais­ing will be­gin in the ad­di­tion­al states. Please feel free to ask to check the sta­tus of your state.

In an­swer to var­ious ques­tions we have re­ceived on this:

We are con­stant­ly work­ing on fin­ish­ing the pa­per­work to legal­ly re­quest do­na­tions in all 50 states. If your state is not list­ed and you would like to know if we have added it since the list you have, just ask.

While we can­not so­lic­it do­na­tions from peo­ple in states where we are not yet reg­is­tered, we know of no pro­hi­bi­tion against ac­cept­ing do­na­tions from donors in these states who ap­proach us with an of­fer to do­nate.

In­ter­na­tion­al do­na­tions are ac­cept­ed, but we don’t know ANY­THING about how to make them tax-​de­ductible, or even if they CAN be made de­ductible, and don’t have the staff to han­dle it even if there are ways.

All do­na­tions should be made to:

**The Le­gal Small Print**

(Three Pages)

***START**THE SMALL PRINT!**FOR PUB­LIC DO­MAIN ETEXTS**START*** Why is this “Small Print!” state­ment here? You know: lawyers. They tell us you might sue us if there is some­thing wrong with your copy of this etext, even if you got it for free from some­one oth­er than us, and even if what’s wrong is not our fault. So, among oth­er things, this “Small Print!” state­ment dis­claims most of our li­abil­ity to you. It al­so tells you how you may dis­tribute copies of this etext if you want to.

*BE­FORE!* YOU USE OR READ THIS ETEXT By us­ing or read­ing any part of this PROJECT GUTEN­BERG-​tm etext, you in­di­cate that you un­der­stand, agree to and ac­cept this “Small Print!” state­ment. If you do not, you can re­ceive a re­fund of the mon­ey (if any) you paid for this etext by send­ing a re­quest with­in 30 days of re­ceiv­ing it to the per­son you got it from. If you re­ceived this etext on a phys­ical medi­um (such as a disk), you must re­turn it with your re­quest.

ABOUT PROJECT GUTEN­BERG-​TM ETEXTS This PROJECT GUTEN­BERG-​tm etext, like most PROJECT GUTEN­BERG-​tm etexts, is a “pub­lic do­main” work dis­tribut­ed by Pro­fes­sor Michael S. Hart through the Project Guten­berg As­so­ci­ation (the “Project”). Among oth­er things, this means that no one owns a Unit­ed States copy­right on or for this work, so the Project (and you!) can copy and dis­tribute it in the Unit­ed States with­out per­mis­sion and with­out pay­ing copy­right roy­al­ties. Spe­cial rules, set forth be­low, ap­ply if you wish to copy and dis­tribute this etext un­der the “PROJECT GUTEN­BERG” trade­mark.

Please do not use the “PROJECT GUTEN­BERG” trade­mark to mar­ket any com­mer­cial prod­ucts with­out per­mis­sion.

To cre­ate these etexts, the Project ex­pends con­sid­er­able ef­forts to iden­ti­fy, tran­scribe and proof­read pub­lic do­main works. De­spite these ef­forts, the Project’s etexts and any medi­um they may be on may con­tain “De­fects”. Among oth­er things, De­fects may take the form of in­com­plete, in­ac­cu­rate or cor­rupt da­ta, tran­scrip­tion er­rors, a copy­right or oth­er in­tel­lec­tu­al prop­er­ty in­fringe­ment, a de­fec­tive or dam­aged disk or oth­er etext medi­um, a com­put­er virus, or com­put­er codes that dam­age or can­not be read by your equip­ment.

LIM­IT­ED WAR­RAN­TY; DIS­CLAIMER OF DAM­AGES But for the “Right of Re­place­ment or Re­fund” de­scribed be­low, [1] Michael Hart and the Foun­da­tion (and any oth­er par­ty you may re­ceive this etext from as a PROJECT GUTEN­BERG-​tm etext) dis­claims all li­abil­ity to you for dam­ages, costs and ex­pens­es, in­clud­ing le­gal fees, and [2] YOU HAVE NO REME­DIES FOR NEG­LI­GENCE OR UN­DER STRICT LI­ABIL­ITY, OR FOR BREACH OF WAR­RAN­TY OR CON­TRACT, IN­CLUD­ING BUT NOT LIM­IT­ED TO IN­DI­RECT, CON­SE­QUEN­TIAL, PUNI­TIVE OR IN­CI­DEN­TAL DAM­AGES, EVEN IF YOU GIVE NO­TICE OF THE POS­SI­BIL­ITY OF SUCH DAM­AGES.

If you dis­cov­er a De­fect in this etext with­in 90 days of re­ceiv­ing it, you can re­ceive a re­fund of the mon­ey (if any) you paid for it by send­ing an ex­plana­to­ry note with­in that time to the per­son you re­ceived it from. If you re­ceived it on a phys­ical medi­um, you must re­turn it with your note, and such per­son may choose to al­ter­na­tive­ly give you a re­place­ment copy. If you re­ceived it elec­tron­ical­ly, such per­son may choose to al­ter­na­tive­ly give you a sec­ond op­por­tu­ni­ty to re­ceive it elec­tron­ical­ly.

THIS ETEXT IS OTH­ER­WISE PRO­VID­ED TO YOU “AS-​IS”. NO OTH­ER WAR­RANTIES OF ANY KIND, EX­PRESS OR IM­PLIED, ARE MADE TO YOU AS TO THE ETEXT OR ANY MEDI­UM IT MAY BE ON, IN­CLUD­ING BUT NOT LIM­IT­ED TO WAR­RANTIES OF MER­CHANTABIL­ITY OR FIT­NESS FOR A PAR­TIC­ULAR PUR­POSE.

Some states do not al­low dis­claimers of im­plied war­ranties or the ex­clu­sion or lim­ita­tion of con­se­quen­tial dam­ages, so the above dis­claimers and ex­clu­sions may not ap­ply to you, and you may have oth­er le­gal rights.

IN­DEM­NI­TY You will in­dem­ni­fy and hold Michael Hart, the Foun­da­tion, and its trustees and agents, and any vol­un­teers as­so­ci­at­ed with the pro­duc­tion and dis­tri­bu­tion of Project Guten­berg-​tm texts harm­less, from all li­abil­ity, cost and ex­pense, in­clud­ing le­gal fees, that arise di­rect­ly or in­di­rect­ly from any of the fol­low­ing that you do or cause: [1] dis­tri­bu­tion of this etext, [2] al­ter­ation, mod­ifi­ca­tion, or ad­di­tion to the etext, or [3] any De­fect.

DIS­TRI­BU­TION UN­DER “PROJECT GUTEN­BERG-​tm” You may dis­tribute copies of this etext elec­tron­ical­ly, or by disk, book or any oth­er medi­um if you ei­ther delete this “Small Print!” and all oth­er ref­er­ences to Project Guten­berg, or:

[*] The etext may be read­ily con­vert­ed by the read­er at no ex­pense in­to plain ASCII, EBCDIC or equiv­alent form by the pro­gram that dis­plays the etext (as is the case, for in­stance, with most word pro­ces­sors); OR

[*] You pro­vide, or agree to al­so pro­vide on re­quest at no ad­di­tion­al cost, fee or ex­pense, a copy of the etext in its orig­inal plain ASCII form (or in EBCDIC or oth­er equiv­alent pro­pri­etary form).

[2] Hon­or the etext re­fund and re­place­ment pro­vi­sions of this “Small Print!” state­ment.

A Jour­ney in­to the In­te­ri­or of the Earth

by Jules Verne

[Redac­tor’s Note: The fol­low­ing ver­sion of Jules Verne’s “Jour­ney in­to the In­te­ri­or of the Earth” was pub­lished by Ward, Lock, &Co., Ltd., Lon­don, in 1877. This ver­sion is be­lieved to be the most faith­ful ren­di­tion in­to En­glish of this clas­sic cur­rent­ly in the pub­lic do­main. The few notes of the trans­la­tor are lo­cat­ed near the point where they are ref­er­enced. The Runic char­ac­ters in Chap­ter III are vis­ible in the HTML ver­sion of the text. The char­ac­ter set is ISO-8891-1, main­ly the Win­dows char­ac­ter set. The trans­la­tion is by Fred­er­ick Amadeus Malle­son.

While the trans­la­tion is fair­ly lit­er­al, and Malle­son (a cler­gy­man) has tak­en pains with the sci­en­tif­ic por­tions of the work and added the chap­ter head­ings, he has made some un­for­tu­nate emen­da­tions main­ly con­cern­ing bib­li­cal ref­er­ences, and has added a few ‘im­prove­ments’ of his own, which are de­tailed be­low:

III. “_per­tu­ba­ta seu in­or­di­na­ta,_ ” as Eu­clid has it.”

XXX. cry, “Tha­lat­ta! tha­lat­ta!” the sea! the sea! The deeply in­dent­ed shore was lined with a breadth of fine shin­ing sand, soft­ly

XXXII. hip­popota­mus. {as if the cre­ator, pressed for time in the first hours of the world, had as­sem­bled sev­er­al an­imals in­to one.} The colos­sal mastodon

XXXII. I re­turn to the scrip­tural pe­ri­ods or ages of the world, con­ven­tion­al­ly called ‘days,’ long be­fore the ap­pear­ance of man when the un­fin­ished world was as yet un­fit­ted for his sup­port. {I re­turn to the bib­li­cal epochs of the cre­ation, well in ad­vance of the birth of man, when the in­com­plete earth was not yet suf­fi­cient for him.}

XXXVI­II. (foot­note) , and which is il­lus­trat­ed in the ne­gro coun­te­nance and in the low­est sav­ages.

A JOUR­NEY

IN­TO THE

IN­TE­RI­OR OF THE EARTH

by

Jules Verne

———————————————————————-

PREF­ACE

THE “Voy­ages Ex­traor­di­naires” of M. Jules Verne de­serve to be made wide­ly known in En­glish-​speak­ing coun­tries by means of care­ful­ly pre­pared trans­la­tions. Wit­ty and in­ge­nious adap­ta­tions of the re­search­es and dis­cov­er­ies of mod­ern sci­ence to the pop­ular taste, which de­mands that these should be pre­sent­ed to or­di­nary read­ers in the lighter form of clev­er­ly min­gled truth and fic­tion, these books will as­sured­ly be read with prof­it and de­light, es­pe­cial­ly by En­glish youth. Cer­tain­ly no writ­er be­fore M. Jules Verne has been so hap­py in weav­ing to­geth­er in ju­di­cious com­bi­na­tion se­vere sci­en­tif­ic truth with a charm­ing ex­er­cise of play­ful imag­ina­tion.

Ice­land, the start­ing point of the mar­vel­lous un­der­ground jour­ney imag­ined in this vol­ume, is in­vest­ed at the present time with. a painful in­ter­est in con­se­quence of the dis­as­trous erup­tions last East­er Day, which cov­ered with la­va and ash­es the poor and scanty veg­eta­tion up­on which four thou­sand per­sons were part­ly de­pen­dent for the means of sub­sis­tence. For a long time to come the na­tives of that in­ter­est­ing is­land, who cleave to their desert home with all that _amor pa­tri­ae_ which is so much more eas­ily un­der­stood than ex­plained, will look, and look not in vain, for the help of those on whom fall the smiles of a kindli­er sun in re­gions not torn by earth­quakes nor blast­ed and rav­aged by vol­canic fires. Will the read­ers of this lit­tle book, who, are gift­ed with the means of in­dulging in the lux­ury of ex­tend­ed benef­icence, re­mem­ber the dis­tress of their brethren in the far north, whom dis­tance has not barred from the claim of be­ing count­ed our “neigh­bours”? And what­ev­er their hu­mane feel­ings may prompt them to be­stow will be glad­ly added to the Man­sion-​House Ice­land Re­lief Fund.

In his de­sire to as­cer­tain how far the pic­ture of Ice­land, drawn in the work of Jules Verne is a cor­rect one, the trans­la­tor hopes in the course of a mail or two to re­ceive a com­mu­ni­ca­tion from a lead­ing man of sci­ence in the is­land, which may fur­nish mat­ter for ad­di­tion­al in­for­ma­tion in a fu­ture edi­tion.

The sci­en­tif­ic por­tion of the French orig­inal is not with­out a few er­rors, which the trans­la­tor, with the kind as­sis­tance of Mr. Cameron of H. M. Ge­olog­ical Sur­vey, has ven­tured to point out and cor­rect. It is scarce­ly to be ex­pect­ed in a work in which the el­ement of amuse­ment is in­tend­ed to en­ter more large­ly than that of sci­en­tif­ic in­struc­tion, that any great de­gree of ac­cu­ra­cy should be ar­rived at. Yet the trans­la­tor hopes that what tri­fling de­vi­ations from the text or cor­rec­tions in foot notes he is re­spon­si­ble for, will have done a lit­tle to­wards the in­creased use­ful­ness of the work.
