The invention of the printing-press was an event of supreme importance. Henceforth the ideas of the solitary thinker were carried far and wide on the printed page and they became enriched as they passed through many minds. Moved with curiosity and inspired by a, n awakening f s e co v f ery courage men peered out of their narrow environment into the unknown beyond. A race of brave pioneers began to assert their right to control the powers of nature and they ventured forth on the ocean, the succ...essors of the "grave Tyrian Trader" who Snatch'd his rudder, and shook out more sail; And day and night held on indignantly O'er the blue Midland waters with the gale, Betwixt the Syrtes and soft Sicily, To where the Atlantic raves Outside the Western straits; and unbent sails There, where down cloudy cliffs, through sheets of foam, Shy trafficers, the dark Iberians come; And on the beach undid his corded bales. " Man's daring spirit awoke in this Age of Discovery. Columbus, the supereminent, burst into the solitude of the Western Ocean and turned thither the trend of exploration.
