Notes:
The newspaper article, "William Lloyd Garrison on State Regulation of Vice," is from the Woman's Journal, author unknown. It describes a meeting of the New York Committee for the Prevention of Licensed Prostitution, held in the parlors of Isaac T. Hopper. The meeting included a reception for William Lloyd Garrison, on which occasion he gave a speech. An extract of the speech is included. Garrison said: "This licensing of prostitution was put forth as an economical way of sinning--a preservation of health. If one sin may be licensed, why not another--judiciously regulated. To regulate sin! to dare to repeal the moral law! No, it was against God himself. ..." The newspaper article also contains a resolution relating to the death of William Lloyd Garrison, which was adopted by the Committee at its autumnal meeting.
