Excerpt from A Series of Appeals, or Lectures Addressed Not Behind a Curtain to One Unfortunate Man, but to All Men and Their Families N 0, we are not aware, that he to whom every man and every woman is accountable for every act, has ever given Special command or permission, with reference to any of the various modes of precuring a subsistence, or for be nefiting the race, resorted to by the numerous family of Adam. Yet we may hope, by consulting reason and re velation, those only guides given us by our Creator, to obtain light enough to dispel some of that prejudice en tertained by a portion of community against female lec turers. Truly a woman who resorts to so unpopular a method, especially unpopular in the case of her whose fame has not preceded her, either for aiding herself or for elevating others, should be prepared to assign a reason for such temerity.
