ff.4 (7) + (15
minds of so indefinite a multitude of persons, all of them unknown
to me, were actually determined. But a variety of circumstances,
such as, jointly or even severally considered, will I apprehend be
found sufficient to account for such forbearance, seem not unobvious

1. Of a species of ingenuity, accompanied with appropriate
knowledge and experience, analogous to that by which the several
inventions in question had been brought to their then present
state, it would, in each instance, have required no inconsiderable
share, to surmount the difficulties, which, in those several
cases, could not but oppose themselves, to the fulfilment of the
tasks, necessary to the setting up, and bringing into operation,
a manufactory, adapted in all points to commercial purposes,
applicable to a line of manufacture so completely new, any such
combination of qualifications, even in this mechanical and manufacturing
age and country, may be pronounced to be rare in
the extreme.

2. In a case of this sort, after the fullest directions, which,
in a Patent Specification it is possible to give, to carry an invention
into practice, especially upon a scale large enough to afford an adequate
profit - an assistance that could not but, in many instances, be
little less than necessary, is - the seeing not only the products of the
invention, but the actual operations, by which they have been
produced. After the cessation of the course of experiments by which
they had been produced, the several machines, with specimens of
those products, were piled up and locked up in lumber rooms in
my custody; where they remained inaccessible to every body,
without a permission and attendance, the trouble of which nobody
had any claim upon me for, in addition to the vexation which
pressed upon me in abundance from so many other sources.
