[Smith describes evening activities while working as the private printer of Dr D.] 'By the middle of March 1831, I had completed the first volume, amounting to above four hundred pages, of the Doctor's book. So far as I was capable of finding, it was an admirable work, profound in thought, simple in style, and full of matter, though somewhat disfigured by virulent remarks upon Methodism and Dissent in all forms.'
