Excerpt from Flying Machines, Past, Present, and Future: A Popular Account of Flying Machines, Dirigible Balloons and Aeroplanes
How to make a successful flying machine is receiving attention in all civilised countries. The custom of regarding any attempt to navigate the air as an indication of madness on the part of the experimenter has passed away, and is now replaced by a feeling of anxiety that one's own country shall not be forestalled in the art of aviation.
