Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, Vol. 16 A Special Meeting of the Society was held in the Hall on Monday evening, December 12, 1892, in memory of the late Brinton Coxe, Esq., the President, Charles J. Stille, LL.D., in the chair. A large and sympathetic audience was in attendance. The President introduced David W. Sellers, Esq., who read the following Memorial Address: Mr. President and Fellow-Members: In receiving the invitation of "The Council of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania" to deliver an address before the Society in memory of the late President, Mr. Brinton Coxe, I recognized the desire to have personal and civic worth recorded. The proof of noble and honorable traits in the living has no better expression than the just appreciation of honor and nobility in the departed, and in the effort to portray the character of your late President I shall hope to place in your archives a memento of one who adorned every relation, and left this world better because of his life.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, 1889, Vol. 13 I declined your appointment as historian of the bar and bench of Allegheny County. I found that the admissions to this bar in 1863 had been six hundred and fifty. The correspondence and labor of collecting information and the compilation of even a partial number of sketches would ex tend over many months, resulting in a large book instead of a modest pamphlet appropriate to this occasion. I there fore undertook to furnish a few sketches only of promi nent lawyers of the last century and earlier years of this. Brief as these must be, they occupy a large space. But too much cannot be sacrificed to brevity. It would be to omit much that is interesting, and leave virtues, peculiarities, and true character often obscure.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, Vol. 28 Rolling Mill at Manchester, in Allegheny County, to make iron rails. Connected with this mill were two coke furnaces, built in 1863. The company operated the works until Sep tember, 186 7, when they were leased by Springer Harbaugh. On January 1, 1870, Harbaugh, Mathias Owens took pos session as owners, and on August 1, 1874, they failed, when the manufacture of rails was abandoned. The works them selves have long been abandoned A few other iron-rail mills in Western Pennsylvania, including those which were equipped for the manufacture only of mine rails and other light rails, need not be mentioned. Of these mills those which made rails of heavy sections never at any time pro duced any considerable tonnage. It is a noteworthy fact that Allegheny County, with all its enterprise in the manufacture of iron and steel, did not begin to make rails of heavy sec tions until the Superior Rolling Mill was built in 1865. Iron rails are not now made in Western Pennsylvania, except occasionally a very few tons of light rails for lum ber and mine roads.

He exploited no theories, he defended no vagaries, he chased no rainbows, but reached his historical conclusions after cautious exami nation of the facts and a skilful and critical comparison of the most approved authorities.
