_Lord Kingsborough's Antiquities of Mexico._--Has Lord Kingsborough's
splendid work on Mexican hieroglyphics ever been completed or not?
J.A. GILES.
[This magnificent work has been recently completed by the

there mentioned are those of Faujas de St. Fond, Bourgeois, and Cavallo;
to which I add the following: Thomas Baldwin, _Airopaidia, containing
the Narrative of a Balloon Excursion from Chester, Sept_. 8. 1785.
Chester, 1786, 8vo. (pp. 360.).
Vincent Lunardi published the account of his voyage (the first made in
England) in a series of letters to a friend. The title is torn out in my
copy. The first page begins, "An Account of the First Aerial Voyage in
England. Letter I. London, July 15. 1784.
