Balloon voyage plans by M. Chevalier across the Atlantic
Swiss aeronaut M. Chevalier, aged about 80, seeks to cross the Atlantic from New York in a large bamboo balloon described as a house shaped craft. He has attracted attention of local scientists, has funded numerous tests in Europe, and aims to start before warm weather returns, fearing altitude current effects. Also noted are brief surgery and public morality items from contemporary medical and civic discourse.

Fragmented 1656 letter notes mortality and death
A garbled 1656 missive discusses death and mortality, debating whether life ends in destruction or transformation. It quotes Benjamin Franklin imagery and muses on the soul, body, and the ethics of prolonging life through pain or disengagement. The text then shifts to a Paris Rothschild note and a dubious smallpox cure recipe, ending with a science-tinged aside about microscopic life.
