Journal of a Balloon Ascent by J. C. Sharpe, 1st Book, Chiswick
Manuscripts
Sharpe's excited and somewhat selfconsciously literary account of the ascension begins with his early morning trip to London, a tour of the Commercial Gas Works of Stepney, a description of the growing crowds and party atmosphere, and Green's preparations for flight. He then describes the ascension itself, with his diminishing view of people, buildings, streets, the city, the Thames, the countryside, the ocean, and Europe. He records his feelings and sensations during the voyage, toasting the Queen's health in sherry, reaching an altitude of 16,000 feet, and beginning their descent. at which point this incomplete account breaks off in mid-sentence.
