"A paper read before the Aëronautical Society of Great Britain, June 27, 1866, 'On aërial locomotion, and the laws by which heavy bodies impelled through the air, are sustained.' (from the Transactions of the Aëronautical Society. First annual report for the year 1866, pp. 10-40.) Notwithstanding its date, this paper contains so good a presentation of the problem of aëronautics, that it deserves a wider circulation than it has received"--P. 303.
