"The Contrast"
Royall Tyler
It was three Germans, Gering, Kranz, and Freyburger, who first printed at Paris, in 1470. It was a German who set up the first printing-press in Spain, in 1474. The Germans were once the cherishers, as now they are the destroyers, of the inheritance of civilization.

Walter Raleigh

"Joy in Service; Forgetting, and Pressing Onward; Until the Day Dawn"
