Today, here in Springfield, Illinois we are celebrating the 200th birthday of Lincoln. The paper published the following quote by Lincoln during his lecture on "Discoveries, Inventions and Improvements" which he gave on February 11, 1859.
"In the world's history, certain inventions and discoveries occurred, of peculiar value, on account of their great efficiency in facilitating all other inventions and discoveries. Of these were the arts of writing and of printing -- the discovery of America, and the introduction of Patent-laws." -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ron L Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2009 7:56 AM To: '78-L Mail List'; 'Antique Phonograph List'; [email protected] Subject: [Phono-L] Happy Birthday It's Tom Edison's birthday!
