1914 edition. Excerpt: ...In the world of affairs the wind was
howling, too, and the storm was gathering which culminated in the
series of lawsuits brought by Morse and his associates against the
infringers on his patents. The letters to his brother are full of
the details of these piratical attacks, but throughout all the
turmoil he maintained his poise and his faith in the triumph of
justice and truth. In the letter just quoted from he says: "These
matters do not annoy me as formerly. I have seen so many dark
storms which threatened, and particularly in relation to the
Telegraph, and I have seen them so often hushed at the 'Peace, be
still' of our covenant God, that now the fears and anxieties on any
fresh gathering soon subside into perfect calm." And on November
27, he writes: "The most annoying part of the matter to me is that,
notwithstanding my matters are all in the hands of agents and I
have nothing to do with any of the arrangements, I am held up by
name to the odium of the public. Lawsuits are commenced against
them at Cincinnati and will be in Indiana and Illinois as well as
here, and so, notwithstanding all my efforts to get along
peaceably, I find the fate of Whitney before me. I think I may be
able to secure my farm, and so have a place to retire to for the
PEACE IN THE NEW HOME 283 evening of my days, but even this may be
denied me. A few months will decide.... You have before you the
fate of an inventor, and, take as much pains as you will to secure
to yourself your valuable invention, make up your mind from my
experience now, in addition to others, that you will be robbed of
it and abused into the bargain. This is the lot of a successful
inventor or discoverer, and no precaution, I believe, will save him
from it. He will meet with a mixed estimate; the...

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The Age of
Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical
understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking.
Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel
Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and
moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade.
The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and
Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a
debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below
