Excerpt from Universalism Against Itself: A Scriptural Analysis of the Doctrine

“This book was originally written when the author was quite young, - but little turned of twenty, - but it was some two or three years later before he had found friends who were will ing to advance the means for issuing the first copies, an edition which many thought would never all be called for. A year, however, had not passed before the edition was entirely exhausted, and from the sale of which the author was en abled to return the money borrowed, leaving a surplus suf ficient for another edition. To avoid the necessity of large editions, he was advised to have the work stereotyped which he personally supervised at Cincinnati, Ohio. From this point editions of one thousand copies each began to be issued to meet the rapidly increasing demand, until within about four years thereafter more than copies of the work had been sold.”
