Jefferson and Manufacturing
Arkansas Little Rock, HIST 4301
Excerpt: ... Jefferson on Ideas and Invention He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me. That ideas should freely spread from one to another over the globe, for the moral and mutual instruction of man, and improvement of his condition, seems to have been peculiarly and benevolently designed by nature, when she made them, like fire, expansible over all space, without lessening their density in any point, and like the air in which we breathe, move, and have our physical being, incapable of confinement or exclusive appropriation. Inventions then cannot, in nature, be a subject of property. Thomas Jefferson 's letter to Isaac McPherson, August 13, 1813 Jefferson on Patents The saying there shall be no monopolies lessens the incitements to ingenuity, which is spurred on by the hope of a monopoly for a limited time, as of 14 years; . Jefferson to Madison dated July 31, 1788 (before the Constitution was fu ...

Benjamin Franklin was the tenth of Josiah Franklin's sons. He was born on January 6, 1706. (Ford 4) Thomas Jefferson was born on April 13, 1743 in Albernarle County, Virginia. (United) Rather than inheriting thousands of acres of land like Jefferson, Franklin inherited the art of candle making from his father. (Ford 4) Franklin not only made candles, but he was apprentice to his older brother, James.
