From Adler's introduction:

Mr. Langley also wrote a few occasional, popular papers relating to this same class of experiments, which were published in the Smithsonian reports, and elsewhere, the editions of which are now quite exhausted. In order to meet the ever-increasing demand for information on a subject which is now claiming universal attention, and in which Mr. Langley was the pioneer, some of these less technical articles are here brought together and reprinted under a single cover [...]
