Excerpt from Travels in the Air A Second Edition enables me to speak concerning the use of the balloon during the siege of Paris. When I laid down my pen a few months ago, I little thought that a new chapter was about to be added to the History of Aerostation, and that the time when the balloon would take its place as a necessary means of communication was so near at hand. Although, in common with my colleagues, I had long hoped to see more attention paid to the improvement of aerial navigation, still it is painful to reflect that the stimulus has been afforded by the misfortunes of France. I had long felt satisfied that the balloon could be used with great advantage to explore the ocean overhead. As a philosophical instrument, although rude, costly, and most unmanageable, it had so many good points about it, that I was hopeful - as will be seen from the narratives in the body of the work - that its use would be attended with varied and important benefits to science. But an invention, however beautiful or interesting, unless it commends itself to some definitely expressed interest, or fulfils a purpose generally understood, is apt to languish. The balloon is a case in point. The necessity of exploring the aerial ocean, and seeking within its depths for the causes of atmospheric phenomena, has never yet been generally recognized. Situated at the lower confines of the atmosphere, we are limited in our observation of forces which, expended upon the earth, are conceived and regulated above.

Excerpt from Travels in Space: A History of Aerial Navigation But with all due deference to the brilliant prescience of Roger Bacon, it is still evident from his own writings, although some of his admirers have sought to prove the contrary, that he did not fully understand the principles of atmospheric pressure, or he would not have thought it necessary to get his hollow globe on the surface of the atmosphere. As to his having some knowledge of the consistency of the air as an elastic fluid, that will not be denied, for at that period the attention of the learned began to be directed to the science of pneumatics. But they had no knowledge whatever of the various and distinct gases. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Adventures in the Air: Being Memorable Experiences of Great Aeronauts The Translator thinks it due to the Author to state, that in this English edition several passages likely to interest only French readers have been omitted, and several additions made bearing mainly on the history of ballooning in England. The whole has, moreover, been carefully revised by both Author and Translator, the former having added some further details, bringing the work down to the present date. A few new illustrations have also been added, and in its present form it is hoped that the work will afford pleasure to both young and old, and lead the former especially to take an interest in those sciences on which aeronautics is based.

Had it not been for his persuasion and hard work, I doubt if it even would have been accomplished. When it was first suggested to me that I should write an account of the V imy's flight from England to Australia, I'thought it a splen did idea and at once said that I would. That was 15 months ago and I have only just completed it! I have tried to tell the story just as I remember it and without too much technical detail and in doing this my brother's diary has been of the greatest assistance.
