Description
Excerpt: In these days of Public Schools and extended facilities for popular education it would be difficult to find many people unaccustomed to the use of steel pens, but although the manufacture of this article by presses and tools must have been introduced during the first quarter of the present century, the inquirer after knowledge would scarcely find a dozen persons who could give any definite information as to when, where, and by whom this invention was made. Less than two decades ago there were three men living who could have answered this question, but two of them passed away without making any sign, and the third?Sir Josiah Mason?has left on record that his friend and patron?Mr. Samuel Harrison?about the year 1780, made a steel pen for Dr. Priestley.
