Annals of some remarkable aërial and alpine voyages, including those of the author : to which are added, observations on the partial deafness to which aerial and mountain travellers are liable, and an essay on the flight and migration of birds, the whole being intended as supplementary to "Researches about atmospheric phenomena" . his ship, and theballoon, left to itself, went over to the Turks, havingmounted to an amazing height.

The height to which they had ascended musteither have exceeded five miles, or from some cause, theair must have been in a very cold state, for they sufferedmore than most aeronauts have done who have mountedinto the air. The most intense interest for their fate wasexcited, and bulletins of health reported sent from Veniceto Bologna. Count Zambeccari suffered most, and wasforced to have his fingers incised : however they ultimatelyrecovered, and as will be hereafter seen, continued nextyear to persevere in their efforts to manage balloons con-structed on this principle, which are, in my opinion, farless safe than the air balloons.
