Mr.Moses--I think that was his name--was at first inclined to be jocular.

I remember his smiling question: 'Have you called him a hell-hound or an atheist?
Otherwise there is no libel.' But when he looked over the manuscript his countenance changed.

'This is a serious affair,' he said; 'however, no one will publish it for you.' In that Mr.Moses was right; no one dared publish the pamphlet.

But that difficulty was soon overcome.

My husband hired a printer by the day, and the work was rushed through.
