In 1788 he made the following prophesy: “Soon will the power of steam bear the fleet carriage along the road, soon will it bear the bark with certain course through the billows. Probably too it will, like the eagle, bear a new car through the kingdom of air on the nimble pinions of the wind to remote bounds. In 1771 Franklin visited Dr. Darwin at Litchfield.
