". . . I have in the course of publication in the Magazine of Education, of which the 1st volume is going to appear, a novel, titled the Sphinx of Ice, and which is perhaps of a nature to interest to the Americans, since it is the continuation of the Adventures of Arthur Gordon Pym of their great poet Edgar Poe. . . . I have dedicated it to my friends of America. I have in preparation a novel in 2 volumes, that will have . . . all the territory of the United States, a novel that will not be published before two years. Finally I have a few other volumes that are completed, all returning to the style of the Extraordinary Voyages. . . ."
