After the failure of that enterprise, he did not long continue in practice at the bar. He was a forcible and prolific writer, and a man of undaunted courage. Mr. Child was married in 1828 to Miss Lydia Maria Francis. (See Letters of L. Maria Child, p. VIII. Boston, 1883.) was the editor. Bennett kept a boarding-house in Scott Court, leading from Union Street, and kindly allowed his young friend to remain with him until he could obtain work and the means to pay his board,—no easy matter at first, for business was dull and many were out of employment.

(1778), graduate of Harvard College (1797), and for a number of years a sea-captain, devoted himself during the last eighteen years of his life (1823-1841) to the advocacy of the Peace cause, and was largely instrumental in establishing the American Peace Society in 1828. See his Memoir by John Hemmenway, Boston, 1872, and Mrs. Child's Letters from New York, 1st series, p. 212.

He had not yet outgrown sectarian narrowness, and he still denounced Paine and Jefferson for their infidelity, and lamented because a fete was given to Lafayette in France on the Sabbath.

that Mr. Garrison Lib. 3.162, 170. brought back with him to this country the original of a Protest against British support of the American Colonization Society, already made public in England, and signed by Wilberforce, William Smith, Zachary Macaulay, William Evans, M. P., Samuel Gurney, George Stephen, Suffield, S. Lushington, M. P., Buxton, Cropper, William Allen, and Daniel O'Connell, M. P. The fate of this precious document is unknown. A facsimile of the signatures is given in Mrs. Child's Oasis, p. 64. They expressly rejected the claims of the Society to antislavery support as wholly groundless, and its profession of promoting the abolition of slavery as altogether delusive. The influence of Liberia on the slave trade would be limited to its petty territory. The only effectual deathblow to that accursed traffic will be the destruction of slavery throughout the world, to which they were compelled to say they believed the Colonization Society to be an obstruction.

If Whittier forfeited his political career by his adherence to Justice, Mrs. Child sacrificed without regret in the same cause her popularity as a writer, and invited social indignities that now appear m her, the first use she had made of them being to take out books for the purpose of composing her Appeal ( Letters of L.

He got home late, and without a fire sat down and wrote until midnight. His satisfaction was great, for it seemed was afterwards raised to $20 and then $30—now he thinks he could get $50.
