COLSON, OF BRISTOL.—He was the son of Edward
Colson, a
,journeyman soap boiler, whose wages did not
exceed ton shillings per week, and had ten children
then living, of whom E lward was the oldest. When
he had arrived to an ago fit to be put out an apprentice
his father bound him to a Virginia captain. He behaved
so well as cabin-boy, that, before his ship departed from
America for England, ho had acquired, by presents

from passengers, the sum of fifty pounds; and, being of
an exceeding liberal disposition, un his arrival at Bristol
ho dispensed every farthing to the prisoners at Newgate,
and shortly after sailed again to Virginia. On his second
return ho disposed of a sum twice as large after the same
manner. He gradually grew in wealth till he became an
East ludia merchant (before the Company started). Forty
sail of stately ships obeyed his bidding, and•woalth flowed
in upon him from every quarter of the globe. His chari-
ties wore kingly.—Dickens's " All the Year Round."
