Sobre este artículo
Paris, 1784.. [2],34pp. Quarto. Dbd., removed from a sammelband. Stains to corners of final two text leaves. Else very good. Brisson was a distinguished naturalist and physicist. His OBSERVATIONS... includes his report to the Académie des Sciences on the Montgolfiers' balloon and a proposal for a balloon motorized by steam jets and guided by rudders, which prefigures the blimp. Brisson's work also contains a valuable dictionary of the recently developed ballooning terminology. This is the scarcer quarto printing of his report; an octavo edition appeared the same year. MAGGS 387:78. TISSANDIER, p.15 (octavo ed).
