Manufacturing found early encouragement, and in 1639 a number of clothiers from Yorkshire set up a fulling-mill at Rowley. A glass factory was established at Salem in 1641, and iron works at Lynn in 1643, under the management of Joseph Jenks. The keenness of the New-Englander in bargains and business became famous.
For, with all his lyrical instinct and rollicking humor, Holmes is essentially a New-Englander, and one of the most faithful and shrewd interpreters of New England. The colloquial habit of the Autocrat is not lost in the stories, and it is so marked generally in Holmes's writings as to be called distinctive.
A sort of mystery yet which, perhaps, need not have been a mystery, had any one thought it worth while to make systematic inquiry in reference to his previous life, his education, even his native land assisted the impression which his peculiarities were calculated to make. He was evidently not a New-Englander, nor a native of any part of these Western shores.
He was a journeyman cooper, and worked in the big cooper-shop belonging to the great pork-packing establishment which was Marion City's chief pride and sole source of prosperity. He was a New-Englander, a stranger.
As I should draw it up, it would look like this: Council of Trent. Quart. Rev., 71, 108. Chrysostom. For. Quart. Rev., 27, 184. Congress of Vienna. Brownson's Rev., 2d S. 1, 413; 3, 309. Cardinal Consalvi. N. Brit. Rev., 10, 21. Built by Agrippa. Consecrated, 607, to St. Mary ad Martyros. Called Rotunda. The Coliseum, b. by T. Flavius Vespasian. Popes. The line begins with New-Englander, 7, 169.
Perhaps the Puritan reader read through his nose, and all the little Puritans made the most dreadful nasal inquiries as the entertainment went on. The prominent nose of the intellectual New-Englander is evidence of the constant linguistic exercise of the organ for generations. It grew by talking through. But I have no doubt that practice made good readers in those days.
He was an American born, was Captain Jorgan, a New-Englander, but he was a citizen of the world, and a combination of most of the best qualities of most of its best countries. For Captain Jorgan to sit anywhere in his long-skirted blue coat and blue trousers, without holding converse with everybody within speaking distance, was a sheer impossibility.
Her father's tenderness could not make up to her for the loss of her mother's. Very soon after her mother's death, his mercurial temperament jarred upon her. She could not understand how he could laugh and talk as if nothing had happened. She herself was more like her mother in temperament that is, like the New-Englander who goes through life with the grief of a loss grown to his heart.
The other stranger was a New-Englander of respectable appearance, with a grave, hard, honest, hay-bearded face, who had come to serve the sick and wounded on the battle-field and in its immediate neighborhood. There is no reason why I should not mention his name, but I shall content myself with calling him the Philanthropist.
A taciturn man was our surgeon, Rodney Prescott, not popular in the merry garrison circle, but a favorite of mine; the Puritan, the New-Englander, the Bostonian, were as plainly written upon his face as the French and Indian were written upon Jeannette. 'Sit down, Doctor, I said.
