Why had he removed himself to this isolated place? There is no doubt that he strongly wished for a certain measure of solitude and an atmosphere of repose and security. He had the habit of meditation; the distractions of life in a large industrial suburb of New York were enemies to sustained analysis and reflection. In Newark, moreover, he was vexed by disputes with thievish landlords; his business ventures were unrewarding; he was often hounded by creditors. As soon as he had found himself with a modest accumulation of capital, his debts paid off and some twenty thousand dollars to the good, he had thought at once of building a place of his own from which he could never be dispossessed. As he told a friend of this period, “the combined work of manufacturing and inventing” taxed even his superhuman energies. Indeed, the two occupations proved irreconcilable; if a new idea struck him he felt it had to be tested at once, with the help of every man and instrument within call. But this could hardly be done in a factory run on a regular time schedule, where his impromptu laboratory work held a minor place.
