  • Notes:
    Jules Verne Encyclopedia: " In 1890, J. S. Ogilvie published Topsy Turvy in a plain cloth edition with 10 illustrations, which are not taken directly from the originals, but are rather crudely rendered. Unfortunately, the poor quality of the paper used in printing has resulted in undue deterioration with age. Although the title page indicates that the book was copyrighted by Ogilvie in 1890, there is no record of registration with the Library of Congress. This edition, as with the Original French, has 21 chapters and is a different translation from the one published by Sampson Low, which has 20 chapters. " This translation opens: " 'Then, Mr. Marston, you pretend that a woman has Never been able to make mathematical or experimental-science progress?' "
