ience that ever assembled at the Hall of Science listened
to my first lecture, at which Mr. Bradlaugh presided, two days after my
release. Seventeen hundred people crowded into a room that seats nine
hundred, and as many were unable to gain admission. Similar welcomes
awaited me in the provinces; and ever since my audiences, as well as
the sale of my journal and writings, have been far larger than before
my imprisonment. Hundreds of people, as they have told me, have
been converted to Freethought by my sufferings, my lectures, and my
pamphlets. I hope Judge North is satisfied.

To prevent a break-down in case of another prosecution, Mr. Ramsey and
I clubbed our resources, and purchased printing plant and machinery,
so that the production of the _Freethinker_ and other "blasphemous"
literature might be done under our own root. The bigots had proved
themselves unable to intimidate us, and as we were no longer at
the mercy of printers they gave up the idea of molesting us. May
Freethinkers ever act in this spirit, and be true to the great
traditions of our cause!
