ment heard. In order to put into execution the brilliant
idea thus conceived, four years of patience and more than

different savants end journalist. The se latter have shown
themselves full of zeal, and animated with a real love of pro-
gress, but the men of science, with the exceptirn of Mr.
Wheatstone, have treated him with coldness too often ex-
perienced by young and unknown men at the commence-
ment of their careen—Literary Gazette.
