The leading article of The Times for December 3rd, 1814, contains the following statement:-- "The machine of which we announced the discovery and our adoption a few days ago, has been whirling on its course ever since, with improving order, regularity, and even speed.

The length of the debates on Thursday, the day when Parliament was adjourned, will have been observed; on such an occasion the operation of composing and printing the last page must commence among all the journals at the same moment; and starting from that moment, we, with our infinitely superior circulation, were enabled to throw off our whole impression many hours before the other respectable rival prints.

The accuracy and clearness of the impression will likewise excite attention.
"We shall make no reflections upon those by whom this wonderful discovery has been opposed,--the doubters and unbelievers,--however uncharitable they may have been to us; were it not that the efforts of genius are always impeded by drivellers of this description, and that we owe it to such men as Mr.Koenig and his Friend, and all future promulgators of beneficial inventions, to warn them that they will have to contend with everything that selfishness and conceited ignorance can devise or say; and if we cannot clear their way before them, we would at least give them notice to prepare a panoply against its dirt and filth.
"There is another class of men from whom we receive dark and anonymous threats of vengeance if we persevere in the use of this machine.

These are the Pressmen.

They well know, at least should well know, that such menace is thrown away upon us.
