Excerpt from Professional Atmosphere and Morals, or Patents and Secrets Vs. A Liberal Profession: A ReplyBy the publication of the mode of manufacture, either of machinery or the compounds used in medicine or the useful arts, governments secure for the many the material manifestations of the brain-work of the few, and it is with this object in view that every civilized nation has adopted a system of patents. No civilized nation can afford to neglect the inventive genius of her children, for the cultivation of such genius is sure to end in the enrichment of the many. It is safe to say that mankind were not properly fed until the mechanic turned his attention to the wants of the agriculturist, and the government encouraged every original and improved creation of the mechanic's brain, and, by this happy combination, our agricultural interests have increased a thousand fold.
