Abstract

IT is not too much to say that Science has been advanced by the art of printing more than by any other of the world's inventions, for by it not only has the knowledge of scientific truth been spread throughout the world, but it has been perpetuated to all time, and the names of great heroes in science have been rendered immortal. Long after sculptured monuments, commemorative of the lives and work of great men have crumbled away, their written works remain, and the art of printing has contributed more than anything else to the bringing about of that result. The names of some of the greatest philosophers the world has ever seen would have had but a narrow and comparatively ephemeral celebrity, were it not for the record of their lives and writings which the productions of the printing press have preserved to them.
