In the making of this dictionary the attempt has been to produce a word-book for the use of persons interested in aviation from any of the various points of view from tuhich it may be contemplated, er from any of the several starting-points frem which it may be pursued. The subject itself is indeed somewhat new, and net yet highly differentiated. Aviation as a whole invelvs in some degree net only various other arts, such as the arts of mechanical construction and manipulation; but various sciences, such as fysics, mathematics, mechanics, meteorology, climatology, astronomy, geegrafy, and ornithology; as well as various professions and occupations, such as transportation, navigation, sport, politics, law, warfare, literature, etc. Airships have not only to be constructed and operated, but they have also to be considerd as factors in a world tjansforming process. Their gauzy wings cast strange shadows upon the pathway of humanity.
