This HISTORY has it's own moral with it. Our people are an inventive people. The Patent Office in Washington is crowded with models. The life of Goodyear will present a fine study, and an admirable example, for young Americans whose minds are quickened by the splendid results which have followed the inventive faculty of our countrymen, and given a bias in that direction to their own thoughts. The legal controversies, spreading over the space of seven years, contain much material, although widely scattered, to illustrate this singular life. Mr. Parton prepared and published in the North American Review for July, 1865, a very animated sketch of Mr. Goodyear's experiments in India rubber and their results. His pastor in New Haven. Dr. Dutton, and Rev. Dr. Bacon, of the same city, preached memorial discourses at the time of Mr. Goodyear's decease. From all these sources the present biography has drawn its connected history of the principal events in the life of the great inventor; but the author has been especially indebted to the surviving members of the family for access to valuable papers and private letters, and for incidents that have not been heretofore published. He has also been placed under great obligation to Rev. A. S. Hunt for personal reminiscences while a private secretary of Mr. Goodyear, and residing in his family."Hello !
