The Social Side Of Edison -18
Obviously, however, all of these personal characteristics have nothing to do with Edison's
position in the world of affairs. They show him to be a plain, easy- going, placid
American, with no sense of self-importance, and ready at all times to have his mind
turned into a lighter channel. In private life they show him to be a good citizen, a good
family man, absolutely moral, temperate in all things, and of great charitableness to all
mankind. But what of his position in the age in which he lives? Where does he rank in the
mountain range of great Americans?
It is believed that from the other chapters of this book the reader can formulate his own
answer to the question.
