Excerpt from Mechanics' Magazine, 1827, Vol. 6
Condescended to take the humbler arts under its protection. Nor, until it did so, could the press be said to have began to diffuse one half of the blessings with which it is fraught to mankind. For, however the circulation of works of litera ture may serve to exalt the minds and improve the tastes of men, it may be safely affirmed, that the page which makes one useful art better understood, or more extensively known than it was before, does more to promote the substantial welfare of nations, than any hundred pages of reasoning or of fancy that were ever printed.
