Pamphlet, 8vo, disbound and removed, 13 pp. Some aging and darkening, disbound, a few lines underlined in pencil: otherwise very good.

This pamphlet seems to document Brice's efforts to encourage 'aerial navigation.' He gives a little history on the subject and argues that when accomplished it would be "one of the greatest social, economic, and industrial revolutions in the history of mankind." ANB.
