Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Industries of New England: Their Origin, Development and Accomplishments, Illustrated by Many Old and Interesting Views Yet those who think there has been no, romance in her history have only to scan the records of her varied industries to learn how full of thrilling stories and daring adventures it has been, and how courageous and persistent have been her efforts to develop her industries and to place her products on the markets of the world. The different mono graphs which the State Street Trust Company has issued for many years past are full of facts which demonstrate this. To the imagination, persistence and courage of such men as Nathan Appleton, Patrick Tracy Jackson, Francis Cabot Lowell, Samuel Slater and his father-in-law, Moses Brown, Amos A. Lawrence, David Wilkinson, Joseph Jenks, Eli Whitney and many others, she owes the diversified industries which dot her landscape. Volumes might be written of how her great centres of activity came to be and grew to their vast proportions of today. It seems fitting, therefore, to include in our series of brochures one which will tell a little of the early history of the 'huge industries which have done so much to bring renown to this section of the country. Obviously, in a publication of this nature it is impossible to deal with all of the excellent manufactories which have had a part in the remark able industrial development of New England, but we have endeavored to select some which have especially interesting histories, or which have shown the most phenomenal growth.
