FIRST USE OF MAHoGANY.-Dr. Glib.
boas, an eminent physician in the latter
end of the seventeenth century, had bro
ther, sea captain, who was the first that
brought from the West Indies some ma
hogany logs for ballast. The Doctor was
then building him house in Convent Gar
den, and his brother the sea captain thought
they might be of service to him; but the
carpenters found the wood too hard for their
tools, so it was laid by as useless. Soon
after Mr.. Gibbons wanted caudle-box,
and got the cabinet-maker to make it out
of the useless wood lying in the garden
The box was made, and the doctor was so
much pleased with it. that he got the cabi-
net-maker to make him bureau of it, and
the fine color and polish of it induced him
to invite a great number of his friends to
see it, and among them the Duchess Of
Buckingham. Her Grace begged the Doc
tor for some of the wood, and got Wollas-
ton, the cabinet-maker, to make her bu-
reau also, by which the fame of mahogany
and Wollaston were much raised and it be-
came the rage for grand furniture. No 9TH
er wood exceeds it yet.
