‎Première édition d’un ouvrage très étonnant, un voyage vers la lune. First edition. In this account of a dreamed lunar citadel, Sélénopolis, the author (of whom little is known) explores a classic theme of Enlightenment thought - the comparison between the natural and the social state of man. The work is particularly notable for its ideas on technology, aviation and space travel. Volume II consists of discourses on a variety of subjects germane to the voyage.
