Excerpt from Selections From the Writings of James Kennard: With a Sketch of His Life and Character
James Kennard, Jr., was born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, on the 20th of November, 1815. His parents were James Kennard, and Mary P., daughter of Thomas Manning. He received the best education which the schools of his native town afforded, and was distinguished through his boyhood by quickness of apprehension, keen powers of observation, and the most happy and genial temperament. His acquisitions were highly respectable, and a love of reading and a thirst for knowledge were very early manifested. There was nothing, however, in his prevalent tastes and habits, which seemed to point him out as a subject for a liberal education; and his own inclinations led him to, an active rather than a studious life. He was accordingly placed, in his fifteenth year, as junior clerk in a wholesale and retail dry-goods store, still remaining a member of his father"s family.
