Lewis Page Mercier

Reverend Lewis Page Mercier (9 January 1820 – 2 November 1875) was a British priest and translator. He is known today as the translator, along with Eleanor Elizabeth King, of three of the best-known novels of Jules Verne: ''Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas'', ''From the Earth to the Moon'', and ''Around the Moon''. To avoid a conflict of interest with his position as chaplain, Mercier wrote under the pen names of Louis Mercier, MA (Oxon) and Mercier Lewis. Provided by Wikipedia
