As she had very little on hand (!) she arranged another course of lectures for Rochester, inviting A.D.Mayo, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Thomas Starr King and others.

These speakers were in the employ of the lyceum bureau, but were so restricted by it that they could give their great _reform_, lectures only under private management.

At the close of Emerson's he said to Miss Anthony that he had been instrumental in establishing the lyceum for the purpose of securing a freedom of speech not permitted in the churches, but he believed that now he would have to do as much to break it up, because of its conservatism, and organize some new scheme which would permit men and women to utter their highest thought.

She was in the habit of arranging many of her woman's rights meetings in different towns when Phillips or others were to be there for a lyceum lecture, thus securing them for a speech the following afternoon.
