Synopsis

Excerpt from How to Make Inventions

By stud of Chemistry, many become chemists of Botany, botanists and so on, and hy study of the science of Invention, it is reasonable to conjecture that many may be better prepared to make inventions; hence the leading title of this book, which is primarily intended for those who are desirous of becoming systematic inventors and of knowing all that inventors should know and for scientists and curiosity readers secondarily. If the leading title were The Science of Invention, the latter class of men would be attracted to the book more than the former which is not so desirable, because the former by their inventions can be of more service to mankind. The general style adopted in this book is that of a lecture, and therefore, it is hoped that the use of personal pronouns may be overlooked.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique and insightful perspective on invention, arguing that it is not merely a matter of chance or innate talent, but a science that can be learned and practiced. Drawing inspiration from the work of Francis Bacon, the author proposes that by studying past inventions and inventors, we can identify underlying principles and systematic methods that can guide the creative process. The book delves into the historical context of invention, tracing its evolution from a mystical and divine power to a recognized intellectual pursuit. It explores the role of suggestive ideas, including the importance of recognizing unmet public needs, understanding technical difficulties, and harnessing the power of observation. The author further emphasizes the significance of experimentation and critical inspection of existing devices, emphasizing how even seemingly crude inventions can be refined and improved upon by subsequent innovators. This book challenges the notion that invention is solely a matter of genius, arguing that anyone can cultivate their inventive power by applying diligence, knowledge, and a methodical approach. The book's exploration of the principles of invention as a science, presented through the lens of historical examples and practical applications, provides a compelling framework for understanding the process of creation and its impact on our world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781440048708_0
