Monday, 14.--After preaching at Lurgan, I inquired of Mr. Miller whether he had any
thoughts of perfecting his speaking statue, which had so long lain by. He said he had altered
his design; that he intended, if he had life and health, to make two which would not only
speak, but sing hymns alternately with an articulate voice; that he had made a trial and it
answered well. But he could not tell when he should finish it, as he had much business of
other kinds and could give only his leisure hours to this. How amazing is it that no man of
fortune enables him to give all his time to the work!
