which has been the greater marvel, the invention
itself, or the sudden work it has already done
In this ii has had no predecessor, nor is It's equal
soon, If ever TO be looked fer All other inven-
tons have gone with comparatively slow and
lazy gait about The world. The progress and
wide diffusion of this, all abroad, have come
partly from its own character, and partly from
the period Of its origin II was too great ne
cessity FOR DELAY. The invention told its own
story to the world as no other ever did OF can
hereafter do.
That we may more wisely estimate the SER
vices Of Professor Morse, il will be profitable to
ourselves, as well as Just TO his meu'cryj ID lin
ger few moments in contemplation of what
his invention has already done, as suggestive Of
what it will hereafter accomplish.
In respect TO its past achievement, 1t Is only
contrast to whatever bad been dOhc before As
rule in all past time the greatest and most
useful inventions were slow in gaining the favor
they deserved, and in doing the good they in
| tended. Cadmus, whoever he was, if indeed he
was at all-CRdnihs the reputed inventor Of
| letters=~a fneagre alphabet, could not forecast
| Its future, nor could his own aec appreciate
what was present In lie benign GRAND TO the
world, it crept laAily along the Shore from city
| 10 city, TIL at length, after a weak and strug-
| Cling infancy, it gained the faYor OF the wise,
| and became power among the nations.
| Whether che story be myth or a history it
! correctly represents the ignorance of ages, and
| forecasts the fate Of most inventions for long
