Soon after the burning of Pennsylvania Hall, at a social gathering one
evening, Dr. Moore in conversation with Mrs. Mott strongly condemned
the fanaticism and impolicy of the Abolitionists, and especially the
women; he said they should do all their reform work through the
Friends' meeting. Being much excited, in the course of his remarks, he
became very insulting. Mrs. Mott patiently reasoned with him for
awhile; at last becoming very indignant, she arose, and leaving him
remarked: "All I have to say to thee in parting is, 'Get thee behind
me, Satan.'" He immediately took his hat and in silence left the
house. Lucretia Mott ante-dated even Mr. Garrison in her protests
against slavery. Robert Purvis, of Philadelphia, says he heard her as
early as 1829 preach against slavery, on several occasions in the
colored church.

In 1833, says Mrs. Mott, the Philadelphia Female Anti-Slavery
Society was formed, and being actively associated in the efforts
for the slaves' redemption, I have traveled thousands of miles in
this country, holding meetings in some of the slave States, have
been in the midst of mobs and violence, and have shared
abundantly in the odium attached to the name of an uncompromising
modern Abolitionist, as well as partaken richly of the sweet
return of peace, attendant on those who would "undo the heavy
burdens and let the oppressed go free; and break every yoke."

In 1840, a World's Anti-Slavery Convention was called in London.
Women from Boston, New York, and Philadelphia, were delegates to
that Convention. I was one of the number; but, on our arrival in
England, our credentials were not accepted, because we were
women. We were, however, treated with the greatest courtesy and
attention, as strangers, and were admitted to chosen seats as
spectators and listeners, while our right of membership was
denied. This brought the woman question more into view, and an
increase of interest on the subject has been the result. In this
work, too, I have engaged heart and hand; as my labors, travels,
and public discourses evince. The misrepresentation, ridicule,
and abuse heaped upon this, as well as other reforms, do not in
the least deter me from my duty. To those whose name is cast out
as evil for the truth's sake, it is a small thing to be judged of
man's judgment.
