Mr Edison’s Latest Electric Light

A celebrated character once used the memorable words ‘I don’t believe there is no sich a person.’ The incredulity had for its object Mrs Harris. We are disposed to echo the sentence and say ‘ we don’t believe there is no sich a person as Mr Edison.’ No such person at least as Mr Edison of the New York Herald. Mr Edison, of Menlo Park, has hitherto been regarded as a man of great native talent, comparatively uneducated and feeling his way by making experiment after experiment where the trained electrician walked in the broad light of science.
