Biddeford, however, did not always make the desolate figure it now exhibits. Before our unfortunate dispute with the Americans, which, after absorbing one hundred millions of our money, and destroying one hundred and fifty thousand of our countrymen, terminated in the loss of an immense portion of the Bri- tish empire, this place enjoyed a considerable [ 12o ] commerce with Virginia. Trade, however, like love, " At sight of human ties, " Spreads its light wings, and in a moment flies. " Restri&...ions took place, the war broke out, and the American trade of Biddeford was wafted into foreign ports. A manufactory of coarse pottery at this place, from clay found in the neighbourhood of Barnstaple, keeps up a lan- guid exportation at its quays. I should act unfairly, however, by Biddeford, did I not mention one mark of the good sense and Christian philanthropy of its inhabitants, ex- emplified in an Home of Industry; an institution that confers more respectability on their town (inasmuch as it has for its ends the real good and best interests of society) than if its port were crouded with ships from every region under Heaven, and its custom-house receipts equalled the revenues of the Lydian Croesus.
