Excerpt from Profit From Invention: Being Suggestions as to the Making of Practical Improvements in the Useful, Arts, Protecting Them by Letters Patent and Disposing of the Monopoly

Invention, like the arts, poesy, painting, and sculpture, is 'a gift, an endowment of nature, often rising to the height Of genius.
