They obtained the use of types in the printing office of the _Christian Examiner_, situated in the same building.

The foreman, Stephen Foster, through his ardent interest in Abolition, made the three first numbers of the paper possible.

The publishers paid for the use of the types by working during the day at the case in the _Examiner's_ office.

They got the use of a press from another foreman with Abolition sympathies, viz., James B.Yerrington, then the printer of the Boston _Daily Advocate_.

Thus were obtained the four indispensables to the publication of the _Liberator_--types, a press, an office, and an assistant.
When at length the offspring of such labor and sacrifices made its appearance in the world, which was on January 1, 1831, it was, in point of size, insignificant enough.
