And the current edition of Blackâs Law Dictionary says that immediate means occurring without delay. Again, the sixth edition provides a more expansive entry, defining immediately as meaning âwithout delay; directly; within a reasonable time under the circumstances of the case; promptly and with reasonable dispatch.â.
Jules Verne. Jules Verne (February 8, 1828â March 24, 1905) was a French writer. He was one of the first authors to write science fiction. Some of his books include Journey To The Centre Of The Earth (1864), From the Earth to the Moon (1865), Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1873).
Verne, Jules. Journey to the Center of the Earth. 1864. Trans. Lowell Bair. New York: Bantam Books, 1991. Here online is a good English translation of Journey to the Center of the Earth. The somewhat cheesy 1871 English translation in which Liedenbrock and Axel are called Von Hartwigg and Harry is also available. But for many decades of English readers, this was their text: Journey to the Center of the Earth.
