There I saw the complete works of Humboldt, the complete Arago, as well as works by Foucault, Henri Sainte-Claire Deville, Chasles, Milne-Edwards, Quatrefages, John Tyndall, Faraday, Berthelot, Father Secchi, Petermann, Commander Maury, Louis Agassiz, etc., plus the transactions of France's Academy of Sciences, bulletins from the various geographical societies, etc., and in a prime location, those two volumes on the great ocean depths that had perhaps earned me this comparatively charitable welcome from Captain Nemo.
Vi allí todas las obras de Humboldt, de Arago, los trabajos de Foucault, de Henri Sainte Claire Deville, de Chasles, de Milne Edwards, de Quatrefages, de Tyndall, de Faraday, de Berthelot, del abate Secchi, de Petermann, del comandante Maury, de Agassiz, etc.; las memorias de la Academia de Ciencias, los boletines de diferentes sociedades de Geografía, etcétera. Y también, y en buen lugar, los dos volúmenes que me habían valido probablemente esa acogida, relativamente caritativa, del capitán Nemo.
