Our History Begins Before We Are Born.

In Order To Keep Pace With The Influx Of Work I Had To Take On Fresh Hands.

Time Passed By. I Had Furnished Steam Hammers To The Principal Foundries In England. I Had Sent Them Abroad, Even To Russia. At Length It Became Known To The Lords Of The Admiralty That A New Power In Forging Had Been Introduced.

In Course Of Time The Brothers Cowper Removed The Manufacture Of Their Printing Machines From London, To Manchester. There They Found Skilled And Energetic Workmen, Ready To Carry Their Plans Into Effect.

Our History Begins Before We Are Born. We Represent The Hereditary Influences Of Our Race, And Our Ancestors Virtually Live In Us.

From A Very Early Period Of My Life I Have Derived The Highest Enjoyment From Listening To Music, Especially To Melody, Which Is To Me The Most Pleasing Form Of Composition.
