Extract from Thomas Jefferson to Benjamin Waterhouse

Monticello Mar. 3. 18.

when I contemplate the immense advances in science, and discoveries in the arts which have been made within the period of my life, I look forward with confidence to equal advances by the present generation; and have no doubt they will consequently be as much wiser than we have been, as we than our fathers were, and they than the burners of witches.
