Excerpt from Friends Miscellany, Vol. 1 Ther said James being of a lively turnof. Mind: sought out for company, and used in the day time, to fill o'p'his time at play with boys, while his sister sold and havocked the goods away. But it was not long ere he was uneasy with such a life, and bethought him self that this could not be right, to eat and drink and rise up to play. Therefore, though not used to hard labour, being brought up in a shop in trade and busi ness, took to work. Some of the neighbours seeing him inclined thereto, encouraged him in it, and em ployed him in cutting off firewood at the door, ' and putting it away for winter for them, and making hay and other chores. Which was of great service to him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
