The flight of insects started with wings hinged to the body which had to be kept in a horizontal positions (e.g. dragonflies), gresshoppers developed fan-like folding wings and this led to beetle wings and the novel introduction of sound producing wings, bird wings developed the use of feathers producing flapping and gliding wings. Man's early experiments with flapping wings were unsucessful and flight was only achievedwith the adoption of Sir John Cayley's idea of the use of a rigid inclined plane and a later patent in 1842 which described a monoplane with rigid wings, mechanically driven with propellers., Gollancz, 1955, The Royal Society, London, 1972.

"The whole of Mr. Browning's poem ... is an illustration of his text that the life of man is an error lived by the help of truth, a life of falsehood which implies the need and capacity for reality, a life of illusion grounded and fulfilled in some ultimate perception of true being, a life of endless yearning after that which always eludes and yet always inspires us ... This is the theme which Mr. Browning pursues through many a page of his eccentric, caustic, abrupt, business-like passion, into something like a philosophy of love, of beauty, of art, and even of faith" (from the original "Spectator" review).

In the 19thC,which witnessed a revolution in horticulture,urban planning and architecture,Joseph Paxton,a man with no formal education,strode like a colossus.Head gardener at Chatsworth by the age of twenty-three,and encouraged by the sixth Duke of Devonshire whose patronage soon flourished into the defining friendship of his life,Paxton set about transforming this Derbyshire estate into the greatest garden in England.Visitors there were astonished by the enormous glasshouses and ambitious waterworks he built,the collection of orchids,the largest in all England,the dwarf bananas and the gargantuan lily,the trees and plants brought back from all over the world.Queen Victoria came to marvel and, increasingly,with the development of the railway in which Paxton was involved,daytrippers from all over the country. It was the Crystal Palace,home of the Great Exhibition in 1851, that secured Paxton's fame.His design,initially doodled on a piece of blotting paper,was the architectural triumph of its time. Two thousand men worked for eight months to complete it.It was six times the size of St Paul's Cathedral,enclosed a space ofeighteen acres,and entertained six million visitors.By the time of his death fourteen years later,'the busiest man in England' according to Dickens,was friends with Brunel and Stephenson and in constant demand to design public parks and gardens. One of his last,seemingly most eccentric projects was for a Great Boulevard under glass,a crystal arcade that would connect all the main railway termini in London. Drawing on thousands of Paxton's personal letters,Kate Colquhoun's remarkable biography is a compelling story of a man who typifies the Victorian ideal of self- improvement and a touching portrait of one of that era's great heroes.
