Ebenezer Rhodes : ウィキペディア英語版 | Ebenezer Rhodes
Ebenezer Rhodes (1762–1839) was an English topographer, publisher, master cutler and artist. ==Life== Rhodes was born in Masborough〔(Rotherham council )〕 near Rotherham, in 1762. He entered the cutlery trade in 1777 and served a seven-year apprenticeship.〔 He was interested in reading and the theatre but his occupation was as a senior partnership with David Champion in a business that made scissors. To the production of fine scissors, the firm added the making of razors and in both these classes of articles they acquired a fine reputation.〔 Rhodes was elected in 1808 to be head of Company of Cutlers in Hallamshire and became Master Cutler. In August, the members gave their president a gold cup in acknowledgment of his public services in the establishment of the Institution. Rhodes started to become associated with debating societies. One of these associations was called The Society of the Friends of Literature. Its meetings were held at a public house in Sheffield. Rhodes held a conspicuous place as an intelligent and fluent converser and as a Jacobin politician. Amongst this group were the Rev John Pye Smith the theological writer and James Montgomery the Christian poet and philanthropist. These groups were eventually proscribed as they were thought to be a source of sedition.〔
