HE IS ONLY A PRINTER.
Who was the Earl of Stanhope? He was only a printer. Who is Prince Frederick William (married to the Princess Royal of England)? He, too, is a printer. Who was William Caxton, one of the framers of English literature? He was only a printer. What were G. P. Morris, N. P. Willis, James Harper, Horace Greeley, Bayard Taylor, Charles Dickens, Thiers, Douglas Jerrold, Geo. D. Prentice, and Senators Dix, Cameron, and Niles? They, too, were printers. What was Benjamin Franklin? He was only a printer. And last, though not least, what was James Buchanan, ex-President of the United States? Only a printer. Every one cannot be a printer--brains are necessary.
