But Gutenberg's wisdom, increasingwith his age, was afterward destined to reunite the people and nobility, who looked on each other as enemies. The restoration of his goods allowed young Gutenberg to satisfy hisliterary, religious, and artistic tastes, by travelling from town totown to study monuments, and visit men of all conditions celebrated fortheir science, their art, or even their trade. The artisans of Germanythen held nearly the same rank as the artists. It was at the time whenthe trade...s, scarcely known, were confused with the arts, and when themost humble professions produced their earliest masterpieces, which, onaccount of their novelty, were looked upon as prodigies. Gutenbergtravelled alone, on foot, carrying a knapsack containing books andclothes, like a mere student visiting the schools, or a journeymanlooking for a master. He thus went through the Rhenish provinces, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, and lastly, Holland, not without an object, like aman who lets his imagination wander at the caprice of his footsteps, butcarrying everywhere with him a fixed idea, an unchanging will led by apresentiment.
