Now there is evidence whatever ia this case that

HAYWARD was an ingenious, persovering, oilsome and
laborioos He made discoveries IN the arts other
people make dscoveTics-by experiments, by compan.
son, by watching the operation of natural causes.

the and he arrived at useful result. He went
through philosophical and practical means pr syadne

by cnel leap. Every man is not wonderfully ingenious
