- Editor's Notes
- French Govt are preparing for Paris Universal Exhibition, which is called the "exhibition of history of retrospective work and of anthropological sciences." It embraces original inventions and is under the direction of the Conservatory of Arts and Metiers of France. Col. Laussedat, Director of the Conservatory, requests me to ask you if you would loan one of your first phonographs. He says that although a young man, your fecundity in inventions is such that you may be called not only a father, but an ancestor of science. He desires that you should have a place in the "Palace consecrated to the history of work."
