About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed.

From a mistake in his identification of Mont Blanc in Plate 3 at the end of his pamphlet, I think it likely that Martel was deceived in supposing that he measured Mont Blanc. 11 See the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London, vol. lxvii, part ii, pp. 513-597. 4 I say 'apparent summit' for this reason. The ridge at the summit of Mont Blanc, though nearly level, is slightly higher at its eastern than at its western end; and it is possible that Sir George Shuckburgh did not see (or did not identify) the very highest point from the Saleve and the Mole, his places of observation.

It may be taken for granted that everyone who wishes to get to Chamonix will want to go by the most direct way, and as quickly as possible. The most direct and the quickest way is through Paris, and by the Paris, Lyons and Mediterranean Railway, via Macon, Culoz, Bellegarde, Ann...
