The original French edition of this book appeared in 1866 as part
of Hachette's extensive, popularising Bibliotheque des Merveilles
series, which included several science titles by Frederic Zurcher
(1816 90) and Elie Margolle (1816 84). Their books were illustrated
with attractive wood-cuts, and remained in print until the 1880s;
they were also translated into English. This volume was published
in London in 1868, and is a good example of popular science
publishing in Victorian Britain. The material is organised
geographically, beginning in Europe with Vesuvius, Etna and
Icelandic volcanoes including Hecla, all of which had recently seen
major eruptions. The authors quote from eyewitness accounts, and
refer to scholarly publications on volcanoes including Darwin
(1844) and Scrope (1862), also reissued in the Cambridge Library
Collection. Later chapters describe oceanic volcanoes, the Andes,
the volcanic zone of New Zealand's North Island, and recently
discovered volcanoes such as Mt Erebus in Antarctica.
