Arkwright an equal sum, with all 
the manufactories, worth as much

Matlock on the 9th; whence his

lation of wealth, possessed, in an 
eminent degree, the art of keeping 
it. His c@conomy and frugality 
bordered very near on parsimony. 
He was, however, if not a great, a 
very useful character.

New Geneva, when the privates.
