| ==Response==
| |
| | |
| Joseph denied having anything to do with the pamphlet in a statement published in the ''Times and Seasons'' in December 1842:
| |
| | |
| | |
| :NOTICE
| |
| | |
| :There was a book printed at my office, a short time since, written by Udney H. Jacobs, on marriage, without my knowledge; and had I been apprised of it, I should not have printed it; not that I am opposed to any man enjoying his privileges; but I do not wish to have my name associated with the authors, in such an unmeaning rigmarole of nonsence [nonsense], folly, and trash.
