the capital. The concern prospered, and took rank among 

 the foremost printing concerns of Lancashire. His tastes 

 were refined ; he was a great reader, was a lover of 

 pictures, and kept up his scientific knowledge of chemistry 

 as applied to printing and dyeing. But he was also a 

 great sportsman, and was extremely fond of hunting. 

 The writer of this notice saw him arrayed in faultless 

 "pink," with top boots and apron, within a month of

 druggist. With characteristic energy and application he 

 studied the nature of the druggist's business, and in 1848 

 took the certificate of the Materia Medica examination of 

 the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain. Through 

 the influence of an aunt of the name of Davies, he obtained
