Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Speech for the Useful Arts: Delivered at New Haven, January 2d, 1856, Before the Agricultural Society of the State of Connecticut
It was more than twenty years after the commencement of the seventeenth century, before the Utilitarian Era may be said to have dawned. When Lord Bacon gave to the world a new method of interrogating nature, and declared that the end of all science is to enrich human life with use fal inventions and arts, he annulled the long divorce, between philosophy and labor, harmonized Thought and Work, and thus two seraphs, which since the fall, in separate spheres, had burned and sung, now blended in a common beam, and swelled a common harmony.
