The New Hampshire Gazette And Historical Chronicle

At a time when, by a new System of Regulations in Commerce, our Trade is oppressed and restrained, and our Spirits sunk to as low an Ebb, as by natural Consequences our Purses must be by and by, Providence seems to alleviate our Pains, by sending Peter Hasenclever, a public and noble spirited Stranger amongst us, who last Week introduced into this Province, at an immense Expence, above 200 Germans (Women included) consisting all of Artificers, as Miners, Founders, Forgers, Colliers, Wheelwrights, Carpenters, &c. &c. There never was brought a finer or more valuable Set of People to America, by which means our Trade and that of our Mother Country must be considerably augmented; particularly as Mr. Hasenclever's Schemes do not interfere with the Manufacturing part of England; but on the contrary, tend to increase the English Manufactures, as he only employs his Men to dig the Prima Materia out of the Bowels of the Mountains, as Iron, and other Metals, and prepares them to be fit for Work, with great Success, and that he has the Wishes and Thanks of all well intentioned Patriots.
