It was an American, also, who first communicated thought by means of the telegraph; and another American whose invention enables us to send speech through the telephone. These two great men opened the way to human society for spiritual communication. The formation of the world soul was thus begun.
These constitute the true sources of modern progress, and can be referred to as the evident cause of the more intimate intercourse of the nations of the earth with one another.
