DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The True History of Alexander, John, and Patrick, and of the Great Mercantile and Manufacturing Concern Carried on by Them, Under the Firm of "John, Alexander, and Co;" John's property was large and fertile; and the tenants upon it had always prided themselves on their good living. Patrick's again, though not quite so large, was equally fertile: it was very favourably Situated, too, surrounded by water, and so beautiful that it was styled, by poets, The Emerald Isle, and by orators, the First Gem of the Sea. Sandy, on the other hand, had been left by his ancestors, so many acres of mountains, covered with heather, so many of barren moor, covered 'with a plant named the thistle - - supposed to be very emblematic of his 0wd character - and a remnant only from which craps might be reared. John's property was fairly cultivated, and very much ornamented. Sandy's was admittedly very romantic and beautiful, and, where this was possible, quite a model of farming and improvement; while Patrick's remained almost in a state of nature. Such were their land estates. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThomas Day (1801-61), a free man of color from Milton, North Carolina, became the most successful cabinetmaker in North Carolina--white or black--during a time when most blacks were enslaved and free blacks were restricted in their movements and activities. His surviving furniture and architectural woodwork still represent the best of nineteenth-century craftsmanship and aesthetics. In this lavishly illustrated book, Patricia Phillips Marshall and Jo Ramsay Leimenstoll show how Day plotted a carefully charted course for success in antebellum southern society. Beginning in the 1820s, he produced fine furniture for leading white citizens and in the 1840s and '50s diversified his offerings to produce newel posts, stair brackets, and distinctive mantels for many of the same clients. As demand for his services increased, the technological improvements Day incorporated into his shop contributed to the complexity of his designs. Day's style, characterized by undulating shapes, fluid lines, and spiraling forms, melded his own unique motifs with popular design forms, resulting in a distinctive interpretation readily identified to his shop. The photographs in the book document furniture in public and private collections and architectural woodwork from private homes not previously associated with Day. The book provides information on more than 160 pieces of furniture and architectural woodwork that Day produced for 80 structures between 1835 and 1861. Through in-depth analysis and generous illustrations, including over 240 photographs (20 in full color) and architectural photography by Tim Buchman, Marshall and Leimenstoll provide a comprehensive perspective on and a new understanding of the powerful sense of aesthetics and design that mark Day's legacy.
