very well that to make real and vivid
biography would require an amount and
minuteness of investigation which could
never be repaid in money, nor done with

publishers, and the conversation fell
upon books | happened to say: "What
an interesting story might be made out

afford it. A few days after, they offered
to advance the money requisite; and so
the book was done. In New Hamp-
shire and Vermont, went from house to
house making inquiries. The book sold
thirty thousand copies, and yielded Ine
$1,000 above the cost of producing.
