Two of the more renowned public domain English translation of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" are the Frederick Amadeus Malleson translation published by Ward, Locke, & Co., and the translation by an unnamed translator published by Routledge. Both are universally acknowledged as being superior to the infamous "Hardwigg" translation/rewrite published by Griffin and Farran.
However, which of these two would you consider better than the other, and why? What strengths and weaknesses do they each possess?
