Bookseller Notes

The English edition (among the books advertised at the end here), ran to 303 pages and had 3 plates, called for on the title-page: none are called for in this edition. 'In 1785, just two years after Montgolfier's first aerial voyage, Money made two ascents by hot air balloon. The second, on 22 July, began at Norwich but ended in the sea, from which he was rescued several hours later. In 1790 he offered his services to the ill-fated uprising in the Austrian Netherlands and was eventually given a commission as a major-general: he commanded some 5000 men at Tirlemont and fought one sharp engagement. In July 1792 the offer of his sword was accepted by the French. According to his published account, he was in the Tuileries ready to defend King Louis XVI when that palace was stormed by the Parisian mob on 10 August 1792. He then served for the remainder of that year under generals Valence and Dumouriez against the Prussians and Austrians. During these campaigns Money was struck by the efficacy of French light troops operating in the enclosed frontier country and later called for the creation of British forces capable of countering them' (ODNB).
