Excerpt from The Journal of the Franklin Institute, Vol. 130: Devoted to Science and the Mechanic Arts, Nos, 775-780, July to December, 1890 The age of secrets in arts and trades has nearly passed away. In these pursuits, as well as in that of commerce, liberal views are generally entertained, and a free and open intercourse is acknowledged to be the best policy. The journal will be a ready vehicle for inquiries and replies upon all subjects within its purview, and will enable the artisan and others to obtain information which might other wise be sought in vain. In addition to his other duties, Dr. Jones for several years acted as Recording Secretary of the institute and Curator of its Collections. The original Act establishing the Patent Office was passed in April, 1790, its object as therein stated being to promote the progress of the useful arts.
