A superb copy of the first edition. A Neapolitan, Cavallo bolted for London where he found welcome reception for his researches into the properties of electricity and gasses. London's intellectual milieu soon elected him to the Royal Society of London. Cavallo's work provides a history of ballooning and his work with aerostatic experiments, as well as that of others', including Pilatre de Rozier, the Montgolfier brothers, et al. The plates generously illustrate his audacious experiments, laying a foundation for the future of flight. BROCKETT (Bibliography of Aeronautics, 1910), 2610. TISSANDIER (Bibliographie Aeronautique, 1887) cites the first French edition, published the following year.
