" Discoveries made in the cultivation of the earth are not merely for the time 

 and country in which they are developed, but they may be considered as extending 

 to future ages, and as ultimately tending to benefit the whole race, as affording 

 subsistence for generations to come, as multiplying life, and not only multiplying 

 life, but likewise providing for its enjoyment." Sir Humphrey Davy. 



1901
