Williams. Shortly after the +apprenticeship of Mr. Davis began, Mr. Crocker secured the services of a +Hessian,—supposed to be a deserter from the British army,—who +understood and communicated the art of making castings of brass and +copper. From this time and from this beginning, as Mr. Davis firmly +believed, ships built in New England were fastened with bolts, spikes, +etc., made of <i>composition</i> instead of iron as had formerly been the +invariable practice. Mr. Crocker was a man of somewhat irregular habits, +and not infrequently severe in his treatment of the apprentices, of +whom, as was then quite a common custom, he always had several. At this +time it happened that they all revolted and left him, save Mr. Davis, +the youngest of the number. He<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_20" id="Page_20">[Pg 20]</a></span> remained alone to the end of his term, +faithfully complying with every condition of his indenture.</p> + +<p>In 1800 Mr. Davis, then twenty-three years of age, hired a shop on Union +Street, and started in business for himself as a brass founder. He was +in some way connected with Martin Gay, a proscribed and banished +royalist of the American Revolution and an absentee from 1776 to +1792.<a name="FNanchor_8_8" id="FNanchor_8_8"></a><a href="#Footnote_8_8" class="fnanchor">[8]</a> On the return of Mr. Gay in the last-named year he resumed his +trade, of a coppersmith probably, on the property in Union Street, which +had meanwhile been held and occupied by his wife Ruth, and whose dower +therein had been set off to her by the Probate Court. Mr. Gay is +thereafter denominated a founder, a designation it is<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_21" id="Page_21">[Pg 21]</a></span> thought he may +have derived from his employment of, or association with, Mr. Davis. Mr. +Gay subsequently proposed to Mr. Davis to sell to him the business, and +further to aid him with such pecuniary assistance as he might require in +its prosecution. This proposition was finally accepted, but not without +some considerable hesitation on the part of Mr. Davis, as he had no +security to offer for the indebtedness involved. No security was +required, nor was any ever given, but the transaction was fully +completed by a transfer, and by its ultimate payment without default. In +1807 the remainder of Mr. Gay's original interest in the real estate was +conveyed by commissioners, under a special Act of the Legislature, to +his wife, who had never swerved from her loyalty to the newly formed +government. After Mr. Gay's death, in 1809, Mr. Davis bought the estate +from the widow, and the property, as enlarged by several<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_22" id="Page_22">[Pg 22]</a></span> subsequent +purchases, still remains in possession of his heirs.<a name="FNanchor_9_9" id="FNanchor_9_9"></a><a href="#Footnote_9_9" class="fnanchor">[9]</a></p> + +<p>He occupied the entire premises with his foundry, shop, and residence, +for many years; associated with himself his son, Mr. James Davis, Jr., +as a partner, January 4, 1828, and finally merged the business into the +Revere Copper Company, as already stated.</p> + +<p>Upon the organization of the Company he was elected Treasurer, and held +that office until January 22, 1843. He was also a Director until his +death, which took place very suddenly at his house on Tremont Street, +Boston, April 25, 1862.</p> + +<p>He was persistently industrious, thrifty, and scrupulously upright in +every transaction,—qualities transmitted to him from his ancestor +Robert,—and generous withal to every proper claim upon him. He gloried +in his early<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_23" id="Page_23">[Pg 23]</a></span> struggles to overcome adverse conditions, and was +gratified to be numbered with those from his native town who had +achieved honorable distinction in the various activities of life.</p> + +<p>There was a ruggedness and sharpness of vigor about him which was lost +sight of as he ripened and mellowed in a conspicuous manner under the +influences of ampler means and advancing years.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/24423-h/images/i002.jpg b/24423-h/images/i002.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..5d72419 --- /dev/null +++ b/24423-h/images/i002.jpg diff --git a/24423-h/images/i003.jpg b/24423-h/images/i003.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..bd42ab6 --- /dev/null +++ b/24423-h/images/i003.jpg diff --git a/24423-h/images/i008.jpg b/24423-h/images/i008.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..e7d41e7 --- /dev/null +++ b/24423-h/images/i008.jpg diff --git a/24423-h/images/i012.jpg b/24423-h/images/i012.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..2e9d443 --- /dev/null +++ b/24423-h/images/i012.jpg diff --git a/24423-h/images/i018.jpg b/24423-h/images/i018.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..4f58c47 --- /dev/null +++ b/24423-h/images/i018.jpg diff --git a/24423-h/images/i023.jpg b/24423-h/images/i023.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..c8528af --- /dev/null +++ b/24423-h/images/i023.jpg diff --git a/24423-h/images/i029.jpg b/24423-h/images/i029.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..b556142 --- /dev/null +++ b/24423-h/images/i029.jpg diff --git a/24423-h/images/i037.jpg b/24423-h/images/i037.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..8f53604 --- /dev/null +++ b/24423-h/images/i037.jpg diff --git a/24423-h/images/i043.jpg b/24423-h/images/i043.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..cc146a6 --- /dev/null +++ b/24423-h/images/i043.jpg diff --git a/24423-h/images/i049.jpg b/24423-h/images/i049.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..d0374ff --- /dev/null +++ b/24423-h/images/i049.jpg diff --git a/24423-h/images/i056.jpg b/24423-h/images/i056.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..54a74ce --- /dev/null +++ b/24423-h/images/i056.jpg diff --git a/24423-h/images/i064.jpg b/24423-h/images/i064.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..54c85cb --- /dev/null +++ b/24423-h/images/i064.jpg |
