A Voyage to the Moon

Note 4 — Chapter VIII

Archibald Lovell translation

"... On ne s'attendait guère De voir [Charon] en cette affaire!"

In fact, our translator has made an amusing mistake, for which the printer of the 1661 edition is perhaps partly responsible; in that edition we read: "(Caron ne se sert pas d'autres chandelles)," which should of course be, as in the other editions, "Caron ...;" "For they use no other candles."

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
