From James Henry Powell William Denton, the Geologist and Radical: A Biographical Sketch:
Eleven years old, he must earn something for the “glorious privilege of being independent.”
He was hired by a currier of Darlington for a year, and paid a half-crown—about 60 cents, a week.
William Denton delivers an address to the Infidel Society on the anniversary of the birthday of Thomas Paine at the Melodeon Hall in Cincinnati, Ohio.
