Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Granite Monthly New Hampshire Magazine, Vol. 2 of 12: Devoted to Literature, History, and State Progress
Mr. Jonathan Sawyer, with his vigor of mind and body still unim paired, lives in his elegant mansion, which looks out upon a magnificent picture of wood and vale and moun tain range, and down upon the busy scene of his many years of tireless industry. He loves his home, in the adornment of which his fine taste finds full play. When free from business he is always there. He loves his books, and his conversation shows an unusual breadth of reading in science, history, and politics. He is possessed of a strong, clear intellect, a calm, dispassionate judgment, and sympa thies which always bring him to the side of the wronged and the suffer ing. At a time when anti-slavery sentiments were unpopular, Mr. Saw yer'was free in their utterance, and was among the first to form the Free soil party. Since the organization of the Republican party, Mr. Sawyer has been among its strongest sup porters. He has persistently de clined the many offices of honor and profit which those acquainted with his large intelligence and sagacity and stainless honesty have sought to confer upon him. He is abundantly content to exercise his business pow ers in developing still more the great manufactory, and his affections upon his large household and his chosen friends, and his public spirit in help ing every worthy cause and person in the community.
