Excerpt from Memoir of the Life and Services of Colonel John Nixon: Prepared at the Request of the Committee on the Restoration of Independence Hall for "the National Centennial Commemoration" Of July 2, 1776 and Presented at the Meeting in Independence Chamber, Saturday July 1, 1876 Resolutions respecting Independency, I was doubtful if I should be able to fulfil my engagement, so little was known of his public services. That he was a merchant highly esteemed; the second president of the Bank of North America, and had read and proclaimed publicly to the people for the first time the Declaration of Independence, were the only prominent facts known even to his descendants. It seemed as if the limited two pages of fool's cap could not be supplied, But careful and laborious investigation among published and unpublished archives, revealed incident after incident throwing light upon his important career, until at last when the rough material was sifted and shaped into its present form, the im probable two pages had been duplicated a dozen times. It is presented in its extended size, so that those who come after us may be made fully acquainted with the life and services of one of the country's early and pure patriots.
