Whoever takes up and secures said Servant in any Goal in Pennsylvania, or any of the adjacent Provinces, [2] shall have the above Reward, paid by the Subscriber, or his Agent at said Furnace. NATHANIEL GILES.
Notes
1. Serving at a furnace was a hellish job, the forerunner of the lethal industrial jobs of the age to come and very similar to working in the bowels of a steamship 100 years later. Smiths employed slaves to perform the dangerous tasks of stoking the furnace and pouring molten ore as well as the laborious manning of the bellows since the dawn of Civilization.
2. Note that Pennsylvania was only known as a colony in the narrow administrative sense, but was rather a province of the British Empire. Our historic view of The Plantations, as they were actually called by servants and which were regarded as provinces by the landowning class, is based on the administrative view of English America as consisting of “colonial offices” under "His Majesty" the King. Out term magistrate [still used in Pennsylvania to describe some county judges] is based on this narrow, legalistic, systemic understanding shared by the framers of the American national identity. No wonder America became a land ruled by lawyers and judges.
