high compliment to mechanics:
"What have theynot done2 Have they
not opened the chambers of the mighty
deep, and extracted It's treasures, and made
the raging pillows their highways, on which
they ride as on tanned steed? Are not
the elements of fire and water chained to
the crank, and at the mechanics bidding
compelled to turn it? Have not mechanics
opened the bowels Of the earth, and made
It's products contribute to cur wants7 The
forked lightning is their plaything, and they
ride triumphant on the wings of the mighty
wind To the wise they are food-gates OF
knowledge, and kings and queens are dec
Grated by their handiwork. He who made
the universe was great mechanic"
