Disbound article from the Century Magazine, from May 1901 according to a pencil note on the first page. Pages numbered 855-860. The first page is How To Cross, by Abbe. The remaining pages are King’s essay on The Problem. 3 sheets (6 pages) from the periodical, removed with uneven margins. Held together with a rusty paperclip. Please email with questions or to request photos. If there is a photo beside this listing, please note that it was placed there by ABE without our permission and is likely what they call a stock photo (whatever that is). This volume is part of a large collection of Aviation and Ballooning books, a catalogue of which is available upon request. Most of these magazine articles (from the Kendall Collection) have pencil notes or handwritten titles, but do not have the KB numbers which were added by a later cataloguer.
