Excerpt from Observations Upon the Method of Bank Note Manufacture: With Unerring Rules for the Detection of Counterfeit and Spurious Paper Currency, of All Kinds
The march of progress is still onward. Discovery has disclosed to the world the compass, that liberated the mariner from his long bondage to the land and set him free to rove the deep.
Fulton discovered the power of steam, and held it in his iron grasp, and compelled it to obey his will. Therefore, in most parts of the civilized world, are heard the deep rumbling of its chariot wheels. And the solitude of oceans and seas are now broken by the shrill whistle of the engine mingling its discordant notes with the lonely screams of the sea-bird.
Professor Morse snatched from the clouds some of the lightning that Franklin left, and by his inventive genius forged a chain that bound it, and by artistic skill, tamed the electric fluid and soon learned it to talk.
