And it needs not the gift of prophecy to foresee, nor the spirit of perso nal flattery to declare, that the names of Passa'us and Mouse are destined to glide down the declivity of time together - the equals in the renown of inventive achievements, until the hand of history shall become palsied, and whatever pertains to humanity shall be lost in the general dissolution of matter.
