Blanchard had just made his first as

hydrogen. He took with him wings
and rudder, apparently proposing to
fy, but found them useless. Later
Blanchard crossed the channel in his
aerial machine. Horace Walpole com
ments on the doings Of the largo

he writes, ..the airgonauts have passed
the Rubicon. BY their own account
they were exactly birds They Jew

a tree; some passengers climbed up
and took them in their nest. i" After
seeing balloon descending Walpole
tamuses himself by medi ting ON the
future Of what be calls .sairgonation. =
He sees the art OF flying perfected and
