Explore "Prophecy of a Ten Ton Cheese" by James McIntyre on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
In presenting this delicate, dainty morsel to the imagination of the people, I believed that it could be realized. I viewed the machine that turned and raised the mamoth cheese, and saw the powerful machine invented by James Ireland at the West Oxford companies factory to turn the great and fine cheese he was making there. This company with but little assistance could produce a ten ton cheese.
Who hath prophetic vision sees / In future times a ten ton cheese, / Several companies could join / To furnish curd for great combine / More honor far than making gun / Of mighty size and many a ton.
