"Libraries made education possible, and education in its turn added to libraries: the growth of knowledge followed by a kind of compound-interest law, which was greatly enhanced by the invention of printing."

I'd say this 'law' is some big achievement in the human history, yet I'm not quite firm about it. Maybe it's a figurative way to express the tendency of knowledge accumulation?
