Historical Collection (1820s) and (1840s) as well as a long run of , begun in 1873, which was widely subscribed to by American middle-class families. Notable is an extensive collection of over 700 British and American chapbooks, published between 1800 and 1850. Typically small format, 16 or 24 page unbound books, with neither the author nor the illustrator identified, these chapbooks were designed to sell cheaply or to be given out free. Often published by Sunday School societies and other groups promoting moral uplift, they generally contain stories intended to be inspirational as well as amusing. With these surviving chapbooks as evidence, students and scholars can try to fathom the impact on the minds of early 19th-century youth of such tales as The Pious Apprentice, or the Life of James Douglas (1824) or The Affecting Story of Mary Davis Return to Contents or go to Introduction Darton Collection Historical Collection Annie E.

Jules Verne, Bracebridge Hemyng, and Edward Stratemeyer: A Case of Nineteenth-Century Plagiarism by James D. Keeline James@Keeline.com "Imitation is the sincerest of flattery." The Lacon, Charles Caleb Coltar (1780-1832) Where do authors get their story ideas? Jules Verne (1828-1905) is often cited as the "father of science fiction," a distinction sometimes shared by H.G. Wells (1866-1946). Biographers and scholars of Verne have pointed out that he was not the first person to describe voyages to the moon or travel under the sea aboard a submarine. However, his stories were the first to achieve international acclaim and popularity. This same popularity served to popularize the ideas within the books as well. Verne's " Vingt milles lieues sous les mers " was first published in the Magasin d'education et de recreation as a magazine serial (20 Mar 1869 - 20 Jun 1870). It was published in two volumes within Verne's Voyages Extraordinares in 1870 and 1871. The story was translated by Lewis Mercier and published in England and the United States in late-November 1872. The date on the title pages for these editions was 1873. It was one of several stories which became the inspiration to science fiction writers, including
