Excerpt from Mind and Hand: Manual Training the Chief Factor in EducationIN 1879 I read a paper before the Chicago Philosoph ical Society on the subject of The Inventive Genius, or, an Epitome of Human Progress. The suggestion of the subject came from Mr. Charles J. Barnes, to whom I desire in this public way to express my obligation for an introduction to a profoundly interesting study, and one which has given a new direction to all my thoughts.At the conclusion of my labors in the preparation of the paper, I realized the force of Bacon's remark, that the real and legitimate goal of the sciences is the en dowment of human life with new inventions and riches.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
