The Renfrewshire Magazine

Excerpt from The Renfrewshire Magazine, 1846-7 Many have been the means by which our progress has been attained -numerous the agencies at work. Philosophers, experimentalists, poets, divines, statesmen, have all lent their powerful influence to the onward movement. The same influences are still in operation. The minutest details of what but lately was comprehended in general systems, are being investigated and solved. The term incognita of human knowledge is fast receding before the torch of science, and becoming the arena for the display of modern skill.
