Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life of Christopher Columbus, the Great Discoverer
Electricity is but an indolent drone Compared to the ?ashes of mind Though it may perforate the air with Balls of fire, a termination it will find, Furrowmg through the air separating clouds, Myriads of molecules meeting in thunderous roar, The mind penetrates the fiercest lightning, And has time left far beyond it to soar.
