W. Adams is president of the company, and Edward L. Grenby, treasurer, Joseph Milner Wightman deserves prominent mention in any chron- icle of the industrial progress of Boston. His interest in scientific subjects date from his early boyhood, and his interest and participation in public affairs covered a period of about forty years. He was born in Eliot street, Boston, in 1812, his parents being of English descent. At fourteen he became apprenticed to a machinist, and four years later, when the... Mechanics' Lyceum was formed, he was made secretary. In the following year he delivered a scientific lecture before this body, illustrated by apparatus of his own construction. The year following he, with others, established the Boston Mechanics' Magazine, of which he was associate editor. At the close of his apprenticeship he com- menced the manufacture of philosophical instruments, giving much attention to the work of simplifying their construction and bringing their cost within the means of those who could not atf ord the expensive instruments made in Europe.
