The Heritage of the Earth by Harley S. Aldinger:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas

"P PERHAPS ages past, when the disclosure of an unprecedented scientific discovery would have earned the discoverer the reward of being burned at the stake, someone might have hit on the right formula for controlling gravity, or perhaps otherwise solved the problem of interplanetary travel, but to save his neck very carefully eliminated any possibility of its discovery. Where, or how, our author conceived the idea he expounds so graphically in this narration we cannot tell, of course, but the story seems to us altogether plausible and decidedly interesting."
