Book Description
Excerpt from The Panorama of Science and Art, Vol. 1 of 2 Among the earliest indications of a mind susceptible of attaining general knowledge, appears that which consists in the delight afforded by mechanical performances. With this disposition, opportunities of acquiring the means of imitative execution, and of perceiving the advantages derivable from the possession of scientific principles, eminently tend to establish that activity of mind, and that predilection for the acquisition of useful knowledge, which beneficially influence the character through life, and present un failing sources of enjoyment for the hour of solitude and leisure. If those who are ingenious and skilful in the perception of scientific truth, were practically conversant with the manufacture of every instrument they use, the progression of the sciences would be materially accelerated.
