This is the unabridged 1846 translation commissioned by the original UK publishers of the book, Chapman and Hall. This is the version that most unabridged English editions of the book are based on.
It is, as I'm sure you know, edited from the French original. There was content in the French original which could not be published in early Victorian England.
Penguin Classics commissioned a new translation by Robin Buss in 1996, which restores the full original content. This is of course still protected by copyright.
