Excerpt from A Merchant of the Old School: A Tribute to the Memory of James Johnson I'r would not be well to allow the respected merchant who has recently been so suddenly taken from the active duties of this world, to pass away with no other notice than the bare announcement of his death. Although no formal eulogy is needed to proclaim his sterling worth, or to cause his memory to be cherished with respectful regard by the many who knew him, yet it is a grateful duty to call up and consider some of the circumstances of his career, and some of the prominent characteristics which caused him to be so highly esteemed during his long life, and so sincerely mourned at his death.

The lesson of his life should not be lost. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
