Yesterday and Tomorrow (1964) - a collection of stories by Jules Verne. Translated and edited by I. O. Evans, who edited the "Fitzroy" editions of Verne. According to the introduction, 4 of these came from a 1910 collection (in French.) Three of these appeared in SF magazines of the Fifties - but I don't know if those appearances were the source of text in this book.

(Introduction by I. O. Evans)
The Eternal Adam
The Fate of Jean Morenas
An Ideal City
Ten Hours Hunting
Frritt-Flacc
Gil Braltar
In the Twentyninth Century-The Day of an American Journalist in 2889
Mr. Ray Sharp & Miss Me Flat

Beginning in 1958, the "Fitroy" editions were translated or edited by I. O. Evans (in some cases he did the first English translation.) Sometimes he made abridgements - the publishers had requirements that the books be a certain length; this explains why longer books were broken into 2 parts. Ace only reprinted 10 of the 63 "Fitzroy" editions in paperbak, but did a very classy job: the wonderful covers by Jerome Podwil perfectly capture period and mood.
