Guide to the Collection
Abstract
This collection consists of the papers of trader and pioneer manufacturer Francis Cabot Lowell (1775-1817), including business papers, account books, and correspondence.
Biographical Sketch
Born in Newburyport, Mass. on 7 Apr. 1775, Francis Cabot Lowell was the son of John Lowell II, a member of the Continental Congress and United States judge for the district of Massachusetts, and his second wife, Susanna Cabot Lowell. He entered Harvard in 1789 and, after being exiled to rural Bridgewater as a disciplinary measure for lighting a bonfire in the college yard, graduated with the class of 1793. He married Hannah Jackson, daughter of Jonathan Jackson of Newburyport, in 1798.
Lowell joined the import-export firm of his uncle, William Cabot, in 1793. In the ensuing 17 years, Lowell acquired a substantial fortune from the China, India, and West Indies trades and from investments in land in Boston and Maine. By 1810, however, Lowell's health had declined considerably, and he was forced to seek rest and relaxation in England, Scotland, and France.
During his English sojourn, Lowell's mind remained fixed on business. He studied the techniques of textile manufacturing and committed them to memory for future application in America. Upon his return, Lowell and his brother-in-law, Patrick Tracy Jackson, another wealthy trader, bought property on the Charles River in Waltham, Mass. and there founded the Boston Manufacturing Company.
Lowell and Jackson employed mechanical wizard Paul Moody of Amesbury, Mass., who, with Lowell, invented a number of time-saving devices, including a new spinning mechanism which did away with the time-consuming process of winding. Within the next few years, the company produced nearly 30 miles of cloth per day and paid out dividends of 10% or more.
In the aftermath of the War of 1812, British manufacturers attempted to flood the American textile market and undersell domestic goods. Lowell went to Washington to obtain protection for the infant industry. Almost singlehandedly, he convinced South Carolinian congressional powers William Lowndes and John C. Calhoun to help, and the result was the incorporation of a substantial duty on cotton cloth, otherwise known as the Tariff of 1816.
After 1815, the enormously successful Lowell laid plans for an industrial city not far from commercial Boston to be run under a paternalistic system of community housing, schools, and a church for the rural farm girls employed at his mill. Ultimately, Lowell did not get to see his vision fulfilled with the development of Lowell, Mass. and Manchester, N.H. After his wife died in 1815, his own health continued to deteriorate. Lowell died in Boston at the age of 42 on 10 Aug. 1817.

Detailed Description of the Collection
Expand allI. Loose manuscripts, 1742-1879
Arranged chronologically.
This series consists of business papers, correspondence, receipts, and other papers. (Old) Box 1 contains undated business papers and a collection of early family deeds and other legal documents, 1742-1787, as well as manuscripts relating to Lowell's Harvard career, 1789-1793. Among the more significant items in (Old) Box 1 are a journal and correspondence of the "Marti-Mercurian Band," a group to which Lowell belonged which sought to establish a military company at Harvard; Lowell's college debate notes on such matters as "whether it be morally right for the government to do wrong"; a memoir of college life by Charles Jackson; and correspondence between Lowell and his brother John Lowell III, his sister Anna Cabot Lowell, and his stepmother Rebecca Russell Tyng Lowell during his disciplinary stay with Reverend Zedekiah Sanger in Bridgewater, 1793. Undated correspondence includes a letter from Anne Stuart, the daughter of Gilbert Stuart, discussing portraits of George Washington and claiming that only two were taken from life.
(Old) Boxes 2-9 contain a mixture of family and business correspondence, contracts, bills, and receipts. Lowell's correspondence is almost exclusively concerned with his business ventures--Cabot shipping trade, the New England Bank, real estate on Broad Street and India Wharf in Boston--but relatively little relates to the operation of Boston Manufacturing Company. Prominent business correspondents include William Cabot, Uriah Cotting, Warren Dutton, Samuel P. Gardner, Charles Jackson, Patrick Tracy Jackson, Nathaniel Cabot Lee, James Lloyd, Jr., Peter Remsen, and James Russell. Other individuals represented are Charles Bulfinch, Samuel Cabot, Harrison Gray Otis, and Timothy Pickering. This series also contains a list of Suffolk County deeds, 1802-1809 (Old Box 6, Folder 10), and a modest collection of papers relating to the Lowell estate (Old Box 9).
Family correspondents include: Anna Cabot Lowell (1768-1810), Charles Lowell (1782-1861), Hannah Jackson Lowell (d. 1815), John Lowell II (1743-1802), John Lowell III (1769-1840), Rebecca R. T. Lowell (d. 1816), and Mary Jackson Lee (1783-1860). Letters written to Lowell by his brother John Lowell III from England and Europe, 1804-1806 (Old Boxes 4-5), describe foreign capitals and artifacts and contain occasional glimpses of European politics in the Napoleonic Era. Francis Cabot Lowell's letters from abroad to family and friends, 1810-1811 (Old Box 6), primarily discuss business matters.
(Old) Boxes 5-7 contain Hannah Jackson Lowell's correspondence with sister Mary Jackson Lee (wife of Henry Lee, another important Boston commercial trader), Scottish author Anne Grant (1775-1838), Janet Wilson, and other members of the Wilson family. This correspondence occasionally touches on the role of women in 19th-century intellectual life, but primarily deals with family and personal concerns, such as the growth and well-being of sons Edward Jackson Lowell (1807-1830), Francis Cabot Lowell II (1803-1874), and John Lowell IV (1799-1836).
