The magazine of American history with notes and queries. prolific growth of manu-factures of every kind which have felt the stimulus of this mechanism is no longer limited to instruments of de-struction. In agriculture, it plows, it sows, it reaps, it gathers into than this, it prepares our flour, it spins and weaves our clothing,it keeps our time, it speeds our cars upon the rails.

Witnessing the results of the development of this mechanical idea,seeing them in a swelling tide of statistics, realizing them in their vast in-fluences upon the conditions of human life, and dwelling with anxious con-cern upon their probable consequences on future culture and character, Iplead no apology for ranking the mechanics, whose story I have told,among the great idealists in other fields of thought, while I reckon thatthe rise of many an empire is already dwarfed in historic moment by therise of this mechanical LOCK-PLATE BEDDING MACHINE.
