He continued in his original avocation of joiner, occasionally making boxes, till the year 1790, when the late Lord Gardenstone, the founder of the village of Laurencekirk, brought him to that place, and introduced him to public notice. The high degree of eminence which Mr Stiven had attained by the manufacture of these boxes, of which he was the inventor, is well known to those who contemplate with interest the progress of persevering ingenuity. Frequent imitations have been attempted of these boxes, but though some of them have been exceedingly well executed, yet they have always fallen far short of the neatness of polish, and excellent accuracy of execution by which the boxes manufactured by Mr Stiven were so eminently distinguished. 7.
