we are now enabled to make of the

4wn given to private enterprise, by
ramiliarishig the inhabitants in the
neighborhood of the works, with the
motUjjfif couductingtbem, and the
practicability of overcoming obstacles
heretofore considered insurmountable,
and by the discovery ot materials,
heretofore hidden, not only of vast
utility in prosecuting the work- itself,
but of gicat intrinsic value as to
many objects of domestic economy. ?
