To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In 1772, Captain James Holmes, an Englishman, then a resident of Salisbury, took a lease of the principal mine for twenty years, which he sold the next year to the state for a prison.
A coin made from this ore, called " Higley's Coppers, " was at one time in some circulation in the vicinity of the mines. It is said to have passed for two and sixpence, (forty-two cents, ) in paper currency it is presumed, though composed chiefly, if not entirely, of copper.
One of these coins, dated 1737, is in ...the cabinet of the Connecticut Historical Society. Its inscription on one side is, "I am good copper ; "—on the other, "Value me as you please. " These coppers were much used for meltmg up with gold 'in the manufacture of jewelry, and for this purpose were considered vastly preferable to ordinary cop- per coin. They were not in circulation as a currency after the peace of 1783. The inventor and maker, is supposed to have been Doct. Samuel Higley who, a few years before this, had attempted to manufacture steel, and was somewhat distinguished for enterprises of this character.
