pg 84        1847, the press was sold again for about the same amount as it had 
             cost, and the idea of printing at the Lake was abandoned, at least 
             for the time being.
                  No doubt but that with a man who knew how to judge and manage 
             the affair there would have been a considerable gain.  The absence 
             of such a man caused the undertaking to be abandoned, together 
             with all the hopes to which it had given rise.  It is to be 
             regretted that the institution could not by itself carry all those 
             expenses.  There would have been plenty of work for two or three 
             little apprentices.  The boys would have been of the greatest 
             service there, and would have been learning a useful trade.
