Excerpt from Science in America: Inaugural Address of Dr. John W. Draper, as President of the American Chemical Society; Delivered in Chickering Hall, New York, November 16, 1876
In Europe, the social effect of the use of steam was strikingly marked. Performing mechanical drudgery, it relieved vast numbers of the laboring class, and gave them time to think. It concentrated them in factories and mills. T hose industrial hives were pervaded by literary influences, perhaps not always of a kind that we should approve of. They became the seats of agitation in politics and theology, and while this was the effect on the laboring mass, the owners or capitalists were accumulating enormous fortunes.
