88 MEMOIR OF AUGUSTUS DE MORGAN. 



1837. whom and Mr. De Morgan several letters had passed, 

 wrote (March 14) : 



When the bill is printed and further information is obtained, 

 I may have to trouble yon again with further questions ; but in 

 the mean time I cannot delay offering my acknowledgment to 

 you for tha most valuable assistance you have already afforded. 



This calculation occupied as many hours of several 

 days as could be spared from his two lectures and his 

 other work, and he had to sit up more than one night to 

 complete it. The Bill was lost, and with it Mr. De Mor- 

 gan's time and trouble. 



Marriage. In the vacation of this year we were married. Mr. 



De Morgan's religious views are by this time well known 

 to the reader. I had been brought up in my father's 

 belief, but had not adhered to it without much modifica-

 was much stronger than my own, but my respect for his 

 scruples made me willing to comply with his wish that we 

 should not be married by the form prescribed by the 

 Church of England. We were married at the registrar's 

 office by the Rev. Thomas Madge, and by a form of words 

 differing from that in the prayer book only by the omis- 

 sion of the very small part to which we could not assent 

 with our whole hearts, and of the long exordium of St. 

 Paul on the duties of husbands and wives. 



Settled in After a short tour in Normandy we settled at our first 



street. home, 69 Gower Street. The books, which were then 

 tolerably numerous, had been taken from 5 Upper Gower 

 Street, a few weeks before, when his mother went to 

 a larger house in Manchester Street, Manchester Square. 

 Our house was so near the college that my husband could 

 come home in the intervals between his morning and 

 afternoon lectures, instead of remaining away from 8 A.M. 

 till 5 P.M., as he was obliged to do afterwards when we 

 lived at a greater distance from Gower Street. 



My father was living in Tavistock Square at the time
