In June, 1840, he commenced the publication of a small semi-monthly paper call The Youth's Monitor, which he continued for about two years. In 1841 he printed the first number of a weekly literary paper, the Portland Tribune, which he continued for four years and ten weeks, and in June, 1845, sold his interest in the paper to John Edwards, who was publisher of the Portland Bulletin. The two papers, becoming united, were called the Tribune and Bulletin.[1] Colesworthy kept a book store on Exchange Street, and for a while in the basement of the old Mariners' church Building, on the corner of Fore and Moulton Streets. He afterwards, and before 1851, moved to Boston and opened a bookstore on Cornhill.[2] He was also proprietor of another store in the immediate vicinity, having his home in Chelsea. He was a voluminous writer, both in prose and verse, seeking to instruct as well as amuse his readers. Among his publications are several volumes of poetry, including the following in order of publication: "The Opening Buds," "A Group of Children," "The Year," and "School is Out." The latter of these was published in 1876, with copious notes, that were valuable for their biographical and historical data. The following notable quotation is from this work.[1] Ay, soon upon the stage of life,Sweet, happy children, you will rise,To mingle in its care and strife,Or early find the peaceful skies.Then be it yours, while you pursueThe golden moments, quick to hasteSome noble work of love to do,Nor suffer one bright hour to waste.[School is Out] His son, William Gibson Colesworthy (1851–1907), attended Harvard and Boston University, entered his father's business in 1877 and carried on his father's bookstore at 66 Cornhill until his own death in 1907.[3] References1. ^1 2 Griffith, George Bancroft.
