Voyage to the Moon e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Savinien-hercule de Cyrano Berge rac, swashbuckler, hero, poet, and phi losopher, came of an old and noble fam ily, richer in titles than in estates. His grandfather still kept most of the titles, and was called Savinien de Cyrano Mauvieres Bergerac Saint Laurent. He was secretary to the King in 1571, and held other important offices. Since there was no absolute right of primo geniture in those matters, the names; as well as what was left of the proper ties they had represented, were distrib uted among his descendants. Our hero seems to have received a fair share of the titles; but of the property, nothing.
