Excerpt from Lives of American Merchants, Eminent for Integrity, Enterprise and Public Spirit The biography of eminent men stimulates the ex ertions of those who are themselves seeking honor in the path of usefulness. Their example is a treasure which should be preserved for the benefit of succeeding generations. When those who have added to honorable exertion in their own proper calling or profession patriotic deeds and sacrifices for the public good, have departed from this earthly scene of action, the record of their lives should be transmitted to those who follow them in the same profession. The merchants of this country, though often thoughtlessly charged With a disposition to regard nothing but their own interests, or at most the general interests of commerce, have always shown themselves, in great public emergencies, among the most devoted of our illustrious band of patriots. They have repeatedly stood forward in the darkest hours of our country's peril, to save her by sacrifices and exertions. They not only furnished the sinews of war from their coffers, but the bravest of warriors from their number.
