Excerpt from The London Encyclopedia, or Universal Dictionary of Science, Art, Literature, and Practical Mechanics, Vol. 3 of 22: Comprising a Popular View of the Present State of Knowledge

Some useful arts must be nearly coeval with the human race; for food, clothing, and habita tion, even in their original simplicity, require some art. Many others are of such antiquity as to place the inventors beyond the reach of tra dition. Several have gradually crept into exist ence without any recorded inventor or history. The busy mind, however, accustomed to a be ginning in all things, cannot rest till it finds or imagines a beginning to every art.
