Until the Great Exposition closed its doors in November, Adams haunted it, aching to absorb knowledge, and helpless to
find it. He would have liked to know how much of it could have been grasped by the best-informed man in the world.
While he was thus meditating chaos, Langley came by, and showed it to him. At Langley's behest, the Exhibition dropped
its superfluous rags and stripped itself to the skin, for Langley knew what to study, and why, and how; while Adams might
as well have stood outside in the night, staring at the Milky Way. Yet Langley said nothing new, and taught nothing that
one might not have learned from Lord Bacon, three hundred years before; but though one should have known the
"Advancement of Science" as well as one knew the "Comedy of Errors," the literary knowledge counted for nothing until
some teacher should show how to apply it.
