His hatred of heresy led him not to blacken the character of heretics, nor to descend to the vulgar abuse used by pettier priests.

And therefore I, who honour courage and sincerity wherever I find them; I, who do homage to steadfastness wherever I find it; I, Atheist, lay my small tribute of respect on the bier of this noblest of the Anglo-Catholics, Edward Bouverie Pusey." As a practical answer to the numberless attacks made on us, and as a result of the enormous increase of circulation given to our theological and political writings by these harassing persecutions, we moved our publishing business to 63, Fleet Street, at the end of September, 1882, a shop facing that at which Richard Carlile had carried on his publishing business for a great time, and so seemed still redolent with memories of his gallant struggles.

Two of the first things sold here were a pamphlet of mine, a strong protest against our shameful Egyptian policy, and a critical volume on "Genesis" which Mr.Bradlaugh found time to write in the intervals of his busy life.

Here I worked daily, save when out of London, until Mr.
Bradlaugh's death in 1891, assisted in the conduct of the business by Mr.Bradlaugh's elder daughter--a woman of strong character with many noble qualities, who died rather suddenly in December, 1888, and in the work on the _National Reformer_, first by Dr.Aveling, and then by Mr.John Robertson, its present editor.

Here, too, from 1884 onwards, worked with me Thornton Smith, one of Mr.Bradlaugh's most devoted disciples, who became one of the leading speakers of the National Secular Society; like her well-loved chief, she was ever a good friend and a good fighter, and to me the most loyal and loving of colleagues, one of the few--the very few--Freethinkers who were large-hearted and generous enough not to turn against me when I became a Theosophist.
