Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Wonderful Balloon Ascents" is a historical novel looking back at the historical voyages made possible by balloon travel. Author Camille Flammarion states that, "The discovery or the invention of the balloon was one of those efforts of genius and enterprise which have no infancy. It had reached its full growth when it burst upon the world, and the ninety (at the time of the book's writing) years which have since elapsed have witnessed no development of the original idea. The balloon of to-day—the balloon in which Coxwell and Glaisher have made their perilous trips into the remote regions of the air—is in almost every respect the same as the balloon with which "the physician Charles," following in the footsteps of the Montgolfiers, astonished Paris in 1783. There are few more tantalising stories in the annals of invention than this."

Excerpt: ... lake had they not thrown over 60 lbs. of ballast, which caused them to rise a little, and paja over to the shore, where they got safely to the earth. The expedition lasted only a few minutes. The Duke of (-hartres was rallied by his enemies, who accused him of wwavdlce; and Monjoie, his historian, making allusion to w combat of Ouessant, says that he had given proofs of tU cowardice in the three elements--earth, air, and water. M, Gray, professor at the seminary of Rodez, presented MH VoIup years ago with the following letter from the Abbe" I-ohiis, upon the aerial voyage which he undertook, August f progress of the Montgolfiere was so sudden that one might almost have believed that it arose all inflated and furnished out of some chasm in the earth. The air was calm, the sky without clouds, the sun very strong. Our fuel and instruments were put into the gallery, my companion, M. Louchet, was at his post, and I took mine. At twenty minutes past eight the cords were loosened, we waved a farewell to the spectators, and while two cannon-shots announced our departure, we were already high above the loftiest buildings. "To the general acclamations of the crowd succeeded a profound silence. The spectators, half in fear, half in admiration, stood motionless, with eyes fixed, and gazing eagerly at the superb machine, which rose almost vertically with rapidity and also with grandeur. Some women, and even some men, fainted away; others raised their hands to heaven; others shed tears; all grew pale at the sight of our bright fire. "'We have quitted the earth, ' said I to my companion. "' I compliment you on the fact, ' he answered; 'keep up the fire!' "A truss of hay, steeped in spirits of wine, accelerated the swiftness of our ascent I cast my glance upon...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wonderful Balloon Ascents, or the Conquest of the Skies: A History of Balloons and Balloon Voyages Marechal Villeroi, an octogenarian and an invalid, was conducted to one of the windows of the Tuileries, almost. By force, for he did not believe in balloons. The balloon, meanwhile, detached itself from its moorings; the physician Charles, seated in the car, gaily saluted the public, and was then majestically launched into space in his air-boat and at once the old marechal, beholding this, passed suddenly from unbelief to perfect faith in aerostatics and in the capacity Of the human mind, fell on his knees, and, with his eyes bathed in tears, moaned out pitifully the words, Yes, it is fixed! It is certain! They will find out the secret of avoiding death; but it will be after I am gone I. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fulgence Marion's 'Wonderful Balloon Ascents; Or, The Conquest of the Skies' is a historical account of the development of hot air balloons and their voyages, particularly focusing on the Montgolfier brothers and Vincent Lunardi. Marion reveals how the discovery of the balloon had an extraordinary impact on the people of Europe, arousing enthusiasm, excitement, and hope for new vistas of enterprise and research. However, the practical uses of balloons for travel did not come to fruition. Instead, the balloon served as a vehicle for daring aeronauts who fearlessly pushed the boundaries of human enterprise, sometimes with tragic consequences. Despite the balloon's limited usefulness, Marion shows how its invention had a profound impact on the history of human enterprise and scientific achievement.
