There is no art nor science that is too difficult for industry to attain to: it is the power of the tongue, and makes a man understood all over the world. It is the philosopher's stone, that turns all metals and even stones into gold, and suffers no want to break into its dwelling. It is the north-west passage, that brings the merchant's ships to him by a nearer and shorter path. In a word, it conquers all enemies, and gives wings to blessings.

(A. Farindon.)
