Book Description
Excerpt from Great Inventors and Their Inventions The story of each invention is interwoven with that of the life of its inventor. The lives of inventors furnish materials of the highest educative value. These materials are not only interesting, but they convey their own vivid lessons on how big things are brought about, and on the traits of mind and heart which make for success. It is hoped that this book will set its readers to think ing how the conveniences of life have been obtained, and how progress has been made in the industrial world. While appealing to their interest in inventions and in men who accomplish great things, may it also bring them into contact with ideas which will grip their hearts, fire the imagination, and mold their ideals into worthier forms.

Book Description
Excerpt from Great Inventions With this volume the Smithsonian Scientific Series is completed. It has cost more of efi'ort on the part of the Smithsonian Institution than was anticipated. An exact ing standard of accuracy and interest in text and illustra tions has required more time than was expected for the preparation of the books. It is my hope that the quality of the finished product may be found to justify the long delay in completion. As Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, I wish to thank the subscribers for the interest which they have evinced in its work and welfare. As a direct result of this interest, a large sum has already been added through royalties from sales of the Series, to the resources of the Institution, for the furtherance of its scientific investi gations.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Boy's Own Book of Great Inventions The purpose of this book is to tell the story of some few of the great epoch-making inventions, to trace their influence upon world progress and to describe, so far as possible, simple experiments, embodying the principles involved, for home laboratory work. Many very important inventions and discoveries have had to be omitted. The field to be covered is so broad and the limits of a single book so narrow that the selection of subject-matter has been of necessity largely a process of judicious elimination. But in a book of this sort it is not so important what particular subjects are discussed as it is to teach certain fundamental truths and to emphasize the tremendous influence upon human affairs of the so-called dreamer, the man of vision, who in spite of every obstacle of fate and man has blazed the path of progress for the race. We cannot point out too often that genius is very frequently but another name for imagination. The inventor and the poet are in spirit one. The poet creates a mental image and clothes it in words suggestive of the thought picture. The inventor conceives the idea of an instrument, fraught with great material possibilities, and embodies it in a suitable mechanism. Both the poem and the machine, as everything else in the universe, are mental creations. The most intricate piece of machinery existed in the mind of the inventor before it could be translated into visible and tangible form.

Book Description
Excerpt from Inventions of the Great War The great World War was more than two thirds over when America entered the struggle, and yet in a sense this country was in the war from its very beginning. Three great inven tions controlled the character of the fighting and made it different from any other the world has ever seen. These three inventions were American. The submarine was our invention; it carried the war into the -sea. The airplane was an American invention; it carried the war into the sky. We invented the machine gun; it drove the war into the ground. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Stories of Useful Inventions N this little book I have given the history of those inventions which are most useful to man in his daily life. I have told the story of the Match, the Stove, the Lamp, the Forge, the steam-engine, the Plow, the Reaper, the Mill, the Loom, the Needle, the Gun, the House, the Carriage, the Boat, the' Clock, the Book, and the Message. From the his tory Of these inventions we learn how man became the master of the world Of nature around him, how he brought fire and air and earth and water under his control and compelled them to do his will and his work. When we trace the growth of these inven tions we at the same time trace the course of human progress. These stories, therefore, are stories Of human progress; they are chapters in the history Of civilization.

Book Description
Excerpt from Great Inventions and Discoveries Tens of thousands of years ago, when the world was even then old, primitive man came into existence. The first men lived in the branches of trees or in their hollow trunks, and sometimes in caves. For food they chased horses or caught fish from the streams along whose shores they lived. If they had clothing, it was the skins of wild beasts. Life was simple, slow, and crude. There were no cities, books, railroads, clocks, newspapers, schools, churches, judges, teachers, automobiles, or elections. Man lived with other animals and was little superior to them. These primitive men are called cave-dwellers. A resident of modern New York sits down to a breakfast gathered from distant parts of the earth. He spreads out before him his daily newspaper, which tells him what has happened during the last twenty-four hours all over the world. Telegraph wires and ocean cables have flashed these events across thousands of miles into the newspaper offices and there great printing presses have recorded them upon paper.
