Manuscripts
The manuscript was written by an unknown author who was probably a male student in England in the 1840s (he mentions an article in a 1837 magazine on ballooning). In it, the author writes generally on several different topics including: pneumatics, air balloons, geology, mines and Sir Humphry Davy, and coal. It contains many hand-drawn diagrams and illustrations (some in color). The volume has many blank pages.
