Glass Industry in America.
Glass was tlrst manufactured in
America by the people of Jamestown,
Va„ during the year 1015. Comment
lug on this fact, John Smith lamented
that "the labor of the colony has been
misdirected in the manufacture of
ashes, soap, glass aud tar, in which
they could by no means compete with
Sweden or Iiussia." The inhabitants
of Jamestown did not agree with this
view, however, aud soon afterward
commenced the erection of a glass
works, the completion of which was in
terrupted by the Indian massacre of
1622. The first glass factory In Nortli
America to attempt the Industry on an
ambitious scale was built in 1TS0, at
Temple, N. H„ by ltobert Hewes of
Boston. The workmen, 32 in number,
were German deserters from the Brit
ish ariny. The carelessness of a work
man caused the destruction of the
plant by tire in 1781. In 1803 a glass
factory was established in Boston, and
since that time the Industry has flour
ished.
