Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, 1923, Vol. 47 Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen - To tell the story of the scientists of Philadelphia would require many hours. I propose therefore to restrict myself to a recital of the work of some of the men who were partial to my science, chemistry, because it is the oldest of the sciences. All other sciences are dependent upon it. In the language of another, it has done more for the comfort, the welfare and the happiness of man than all the others put together. There was a time when chemistry was looked upon as the black art. There was a period in its history when kings and emperors called it to their aid. Ivhen their money coffers were depleted they looked to the devotees of the science to replenish them. That was the period in which chemis try bore the name alchemy, when it was said to be the science or the art of making gold and silver; when through the instrumentality of what was termed the philosopher's stone, base, ignoble metals were trans muted into the precious metals, silver and gold.

Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, 1884, Vol. 8 Perhaps you have a curiosity to have a description of Congress Hall; it is a large, elegant brick building, the north end on Chestnut street. The Representative's room is on the lower floor. The Speaker sits in a large arm chair with a table before him like a toilette, covered with green cloth, fringed. The Speaker's seat is elevated about 2 feet and is on the west side of the hall. The members' seats are 3 rows of desks. Rising one above an other in the form of a semi-circle. Opposite the Speaker; these are writing desks with large armed chairs with leather bottoms. There is a lock and key to each desk and places on the desks for ink, pens, sand and a plentiful supply of paper. There are two fireplaces, on each side of the hall with stoves. There is a good deal of room outside the semicircle, or, as we speak, without the bar, to which we introduce strangers to hear the debates, and where considerable numbers are always in attendance, as well as in the gal lery which is at the north end. At the south end, Without the bar, there is an area or half circle with three large windows looking into a large square or walk, the only mall in the city, and two doors from the hall Open into it. There are holes for the Southern and Eastern mails into which we deposit our letters to be carried to the Post Office by the doorkeeper.

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.
