A volume containing 'Garnerinus or Arlequino Parachutus dessign'd for a grand Pantomine [altered to Pantominic] of a recent Areal [presumably Aerial] Adventure', with a letter to Sir Henry Will[ia]m Martin, Baronet, in which Thomas Powell refers to 'the late unparallell'd exploit of Monsr. Garnerin' [i.e. André Jacques Garnerin and his descent by parachute from a balloon over London, 21 September 1802], followed by a pencil sketch and a dedication to Monsr. Garnerin.
