Excerpt from Influence of the Mechanic Arts on the Human Race: Two Lectures
Ladies and Gentlemen: - The influence of the Mechanic Arts on the destinies of the human race is a subject so comprehensive, that it requires the utmost power of condensation, to compress even a faint outline of it within the space allotted to the two Lectures which I have undertaken to deliver. The history of the Mechanic Arts would be the history of man himself, in all the various phases of civilization, the modifications of society and the transformations of polity through which he has passed during so many centuries of his recorded existence, and should conclude with a prophetic survey of their progressive results through ages to come.
