- Editor's Notes
- I have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 10th ult., and the letter of Mr Handford forwarded by you. In regard to my acknowledging [he values] of Mr Handford's criticisms, I think the boot is rather on the other foot. My experience has been finanially in patent machine in the United States, and consequently in matters seculiar to the English practice I shall have to defer to his better judgment. I hope through Mr Handfords criticisms to soon grasp the spirit of English practice, and give in the proportion of cases less cause for advice comment.##Even with conscientiious work both here and in London some mistakes will be made, and this cannot be entirely avoided except by a foresight accounting to devine inspiration; but heretofore, the mistakes made in Mr Edisons patents have been caused by the want of ordinary care and not from the lack of inspiration. I understand from your letter that you desire me to communicate directly with Mr Handford in the future.
