1777-07-30 | 1777-11-22 | PRO - Printer and Stationer of Saint Andrew Holborn, Middlesex. --- Extract from the WILL of Mr.William Bowyer, Dated the 30th JUL, 1777. AND now I hope I may be allowed to leave somehat for the Benefit of Printing. To this End, I give to the Master and Keepers, or Warden, and Commonalty of the Mystery or Art of a Stationer of the city of London, such a sum of money as will purchase Two Thousand Pounds Three per Cent. Reduced Bank Annuities, upon trust, to pay the Dividends and yearly produce thereof, to be divided for ever equally amongst Three Printers, Compositors, or Pressmen, to be elected from time to time by the Master, Wardens, and Assistans of the said Company, and who at the time of such Election shall be sixty-three years old, or upwards, for their respective lives, to be paid Half-yearly; hoping, that such as shall be most deserving will be preferred. And wheres I have herein before given to my Son, the Sum of Three Thousand Pounds Four per Cent. Consolidated Annuities, in case he marries, with the consent of my executors: Now I do hereby give and bequeath the Dividends and Interest of that Sum, till such Marriage takes Place, to the said Company of Stationers, to be divided equally between Six other Printers, Compositors, or Pressmen, as aforesaid, in manner as aforesaid; and, if my Son shal die unmarried, or married without such consent as aforesaid, then I give and bequeath the said capital Sum of Three Thousand Pounds to the said Company of Stationers, the Dividends and yearly produce thereof to be divided for ever equally amongst Six other usch old Printers, Compositors, or Pressmen, for their respective lives, to be qualified, chosen, and paid, in manner as aforesaid. - IT has long been to me matter of concern, that such numbers are put Apprentices, as Compositors, without any share of school-learing, who ought to have the greatest: In hopes of remedying this, I give and bequeath to the said Company of Stationers such a Sum of Money as will Purchase One Thousand Pounds Three per Cent. Reduced Bank annuities, for the use of one Journeyman Compositor, such as shall hereafter be described; with this special trust, That the Master, Wardens, and Assistants, shall pay the Dividends and Produce thereof Half-jyearly to such Compositor: The said Master, Wardens, and Assistants of the said Companny, shall nominate for this purpose, a Compositor, who is a man of good life and conversation, who shall usually frequent some place of public worship, every Sunday, unless prevented by sickness, and shall not have worked on a newspaper or magazine of four years, at least before such nomination, nor shall ever afterwards, whilst he holds this Annuity, which may be for life, if he continues a Journeyman. He shall be able to read and construe Latin, and at least to read Greek fluently with accents; of which he shall bring a Testimonial from the Rector of St.Martin's Ludgate, for the time being: I could wish that he shall have been brought up piously and virtuously, if it be possible, at Merchat Taylor's, or some other public school, form seven years of age till he is full seventeen, and then to serve seven years fiathfully, as a Compositor, and work seven years more as a Journeyman, as I would not have this Annuity bestowed on any one under Thirty-one years of Age: If after he is chosen he should behave ill, let him be turned out, and another be chosen in his stead. And whereasit may be many years before a Compositor may be found that shall exactly answer the above description, and it may at some times happen that such a one cannot be found, I would have the Dividends in the mean time applied to such person as the Master, Wardens, and Assistants shall think approaches nearest to what I have described. And whereas the above trusts will occasion some trouble, I give to the said Company, in case they think propoer to accept the trust, Two Hundred and Fifty Pounds. ---- 12 Dec 1777 - C.B. --- executors of the Will --- wherein the waid W.B. has bequeathed several Sums of Money to this Company upon Trust to apply the yearly Produce thereof for the several Purposes in the Will mentioned and the said Executors requesting to know whether the Company will accept such Trusts, the said Will was read and the Matters therein relating to this Company were taken into Consideration and it is thereupon resolved that this Company will accept of the trusts in the said Will. [Will is transcribed on p.54 of C.B.] --- delivered into this Court a Silver Cup given to this company by the Will --- That the said Mr.John Nichols be at Liberty to affix in some proper Place in the Hall or in one of the Apartments belonging thereto, a Brass Plate with an Inscription thereon testifying the grateful Remembrance which the said William Bowyer had always had of the generous Assistance given by several Members of this Company to his Father upon his Calamity by Fire in January 1712/13. |
