with the single exception of some English and Scotch workmen skilled in the making of cotton and woollen goods. Being brought up with them I knew them to be of the best class of citizens — the sons and daughters of farmers in Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. No better body of citizens, no purer people, ever came together. To the credit of the owners of the mills, it is but just to say, humane, philanthropic, and far-sighted economic business regulations were made, and provit was little more than that, had a large circulation among a certain class of people in that vicinity.
