show of Machinery could not be mat de up in the
United States as is here presented in behalf of
British Invention; yet think strictly Ameri-
can Fair might be got up which would cvince
more originality of creation or design. III am
wrong in this. shall cheeriully say so when
convinced Of it.. Many Of these machines are
very good of their kind without involving any
novel principle or important adaptation. With
regard to FaXDressirg, for example | find
less here than had hoped TO see and though
what | have seen appears to do its work well
and with commeudable economy Of material,
think there are more efficient and rapid Flax.
Dressers in the United States than are contain
ed in this Exhibition. ! have not vet examined
the machinery for Spinning and Weaving the
dressed Flax fibre, but am glad to see that it is
in operation. The report that the experiments
in FaXCoten have "failed' do not in the least
discourage me. Who ever heard of great
economical discovery or invention that had not
been repeatedly pronounced a failure be fore it
ultimately and indubitably succeeded?

the American contribution. This is meanly
invidious and untcscrved. The inventors, ar.
