Excerpt from The Saturday Magazine, Vol. 1: July to December, 1832
After this most important discovery, which we owe to John Gutenberg, of Mayence, the reading as well as the making of books became so much more pleasant, that readers and authors increased to a degree unknown in former ages. A vast number of books, upon all subjects, were written by men of masterly genius and profound learning. There was no branch of knowledge which they did not cultivate and adorn; and their works, full of immense learning and deep research, upon the knowledge and practice of our holy religion, upon history and philosophy, upon medicine and chemistry, upon geography and astronomy; in short, upon every thing connected with the advancement and refinement of mankind, - have come down to us for our improvement and instruction.
