The first set of images are signed Riou. The images match those of the original French and are credited as such.
    • The list of illustrations is broken into two parts, headed "The Survivors of the "Chancellor."" and "Martin Paz".
    • The novel opens on page 1 with the title "The Survivors of the Chancellor." over "Diary of J. R. Kazallon, Passenger.", with both titles appearing as page headers (left and right). It is closed with the statement "End of the Chancellor".
    • The novella is titled "Martin Paz." with a footnote that states ""Martin Paz" is one of M. Verne's earliest works. Previous to the publication of "Cinq Semaines en Ballon" the author had made his début in a volume (published under the general title of "Docteur Ox") containing "Maître Zacharias","Un Hivernage dans les Glaces," "Un Drame dans les Airs," and "Martin Paz." Jules Verne had not then adopted the style which has since rendered his name famous; but it is interesting to note how these first essays already indicated the germs of that genius which has made his works a spécialté in our literature. For this reason they merit being preserved. - J. Hetzel."
