220 On her first lecturing tour, her lectures were mainly of an anti-religious character, and to this fact is probably due much of the opposition she received at that time. When afterward she lectured on political subjects, she met with a somewhat better reception.

When not in the lecturing field she kept her pen constantly busy. I am not sure that I have anything like a complete list of her literary labors, but I may mention as among them, besides the cditing of the Free Enguirer, the conducting of a political magazine, The Manual of American Principles. She was at one time the assistant of Abner Kneeland on the Boston Investigator, and besides a large volume of her published lectures she has written and published at various times the following works:

“Views of Society and Manners in America.”

“A Few Days in Athens.”

"Altorf.” (A tragedy, which appeared on the stage, James Wallack enacting the principal part.)
