Letter addressed to the president and members of the Royal Society : explaining the principle, or powers, whereby it is expected all the lighter kinds of goods and merchandize, as well as passengers and letters may be conveyed to most part of these kingdoms, in a much cheap and quicker manner, than by any of the modes of conveyance not in use : whereby the voyages of shipping may be shortened - the tainted air of rooms and houses be continually changed, mills, of every denomination, worked without wind, water, or horses, and many other purposes effected of great use to society : which letter was deposited, before proper witnesses, on Friday, the 9th July, 1784, in the Society's office in the Strand, as a public record, in order to establish a title to letters patent, on producing the models for carrying the several objects there mentioned into execution.
