Trips To The Moon

By Thomas Francklin

""Trips to the Moon"" is a science fiction novel written by Henry Morley. The book is set in the 19th century and follows the adventures of a group of scientists who attempt to travel to the moon. The main character, Mr. Maston, is a brilliant mathematician who has developed a plan to launch a projectile from a giant cannon in order to reach the moon. The novel explores the scientific and technical challenges of such a mission, as well as the social and political implications of space travel. Along the way, the characters encounter various obstacles and setbacks, including rival scientists, financial difficulties, and technical failures. Despite these challenges, the team perseveres and eventually succeeds in their mission, landing on the moon and exploring its surface. The novel is a classic example of early science fiction, and explores themes of exploration, adventure, and the human desire to push the boundaries of what is possible.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
