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.
