Excerpt from Works of Jules Verne, Vol. 10: Dick Sands, a Captain at Fifteen; The Dark Continent; Measuring a Meridian

In the construction of his narratives, their flow of plot and interest of incident, he was even more painstaking, if that be possible. He said once, It is necessary in writing to demand of oneself with each page, what one is going to put there in order that the reader shall be eager to turn to the following page. In this principle he declared was bound up the entire secret of successful authorship. He certainly followed his own teaching with remarkable skill.
