Thomas W. Knox is also famous as the author of "Underground or Life Below The Surface" and the "Boy Travellers" series, and co-author of "Darkness and Daylight". He wrote several dozen books describing the wonders of the world in the 19th century, and these books were wildly popular. I will *try* to get more thourough and accurate information to add to this article. I own a half dozen of his books myself.
