Excerpt from Adventures in the Moon: And Other WorldsI had Often wished that we could procure ad mission into the moon, in order to regain what had once belonged to us, and had amused myself with imagining the eager search that would take place but without having the least suspicion that this could ever be really effected, since the want of air, and other conveniencies, is sufficient to dis courage most travellers; besides which, the having no ground to tread upon must increase the ditfi culty of the journey. It cannot, therefore, be wondered, that in former times only one journey to the moon was known to have been accomplished, which is that related by Ariosto. But nothing seems too difficult for modern science; and it is well known that, by a most ingenious invention, we have lately been enabled to walk up into Our satellite with safety. As I, amongst others, have accomplished this journey, I shall give a short narrative of my adventures, for the amusement of those who have been deterred by the distance from travelling ln person.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
