Test 16

 
History illustrates a very important TRUTH (TRUE) : inventions are seldom the work of any one mind. Every great invention is really either an aggregation of minor inventions, or the final step of a progression. It is not a CREATION (CREATE) , but a GROWTH (GROW) , the same invention is FREQUENTLY (FREQUENT) brought out in several countries, and by several individuals. Often an IMPORTANT (IMPORTANCE) invention is made before the world is ready to receive it and the unhappy INVENTOR (INVENT) is taught, by his failure that it is as UNFORTUNATE (FORTUNE) to be in advance of his age as to be behind it. Inventions only become SUCCESSFUL(SUCCESS) when they are not only needed, but when mankind is so far advanced in intelligence as to appreciate and to express the NECESSITY (NECESSARY) for them, and to at once make use of them.
