About this book
A book by Bradley A. Fiske carries the subtitle The Master-key to Progress. The preface gives the aim of showing that inventors have accomplished more than most persons realize, not only in bringing forth new mechanisms. The text suggests that language was not a natural gift, but rather the result of an invention and subsequent development, since a child has to be taught to speak.
The text says that possibly the most important result of the work of Sir Humphry Davy on the electrical decomposition of liquids was his discovery of a new metal, to which he gave the name Potassium. The text asks the reader to imagine what would happen in even one city, say New York, if the typewriter were suddenly to be withdrawn.
