Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Anniversary Address Delivered Before the American Institute of the City of New-York: At the Chatham Street Chapel, October 9, 1834, During the Seventh Annual Fair Mr. President, and Gentlemen of the Institutes: Fairs are interesting as an exhibition of the products of human labor, in those arts which are alike indispensable to private comfort and national prosperity; the experience of all nations, who have held them, has through all time attested their good effects, in the incentives which public admiration never fails to excite in the artisan and mechanic, to renewed zeal, and to stretch every faculty of his mind and body to their utmost capacity in the fabrication of what gives pleasure to every one, and profit to himself. The premiums distributed are, to the successful competitor, the public testimonials that he has made some useful contribution to the common stock worthy of the token of public gratitude, earned by his labor and skill. The effects of a display and public exhibition of the various specimens of the articles of consumption, in the wide circle of society, promotes that competition between the fabricator and seller which never fails to benefit the consumer and purchaser. To the young mechanic, who desires to avail himself of improvements in the practical sciences, or mechanical arts, they are the sources of profit and instruction, in taking from the labor of others, to his own appropriate occupation, the means of usefulness to the public and his own interest. Mere spectators admire them as a splendid pageant, which captivates the eye by the brilliant effect of an exhibition in one view of the numerous and choicest productions of the useful and ornamental arts; presenting in the aggregate a condensed display of the fruits of the native industry and skill of our countrymen and women, at the fire-side, in the work-shop, or the manufactory; exemplifying the wants of society, with their means of supply from domestic sources.
