Title: A lecture on agriculture

Type: Speeches, lectures, sermons, etc.

Description: Handwritten lecture by Rev. Samuel Ripley (1783-1847) regarding agriculture. Ripley begins his address, "The subject of the present lecture, & which I invite the attention of my audience, is agriculture - a subject with which all who hear me are more less acquainted, & in the pursuit & practice of it now." Samuel Ripley (1783-1847) was the son of Rev. Ezra Ripley (1783-1847) and Phebe Bliss Emerson (1741-1825). He served as the minister at First Parish in Waltham, where he lived with his wife, Sarah Alden Bradford Ripley (1793-1867). In 1842, he rented The Old Manse to Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864) and his new wife, Sophia Peabody Hawthorne (1809-1871). During their stay, Hawthorne wrote a collection of stories, Mosses from an Old Manse, which he later published in 1846. It was this book that gave The Old Manse its name: a Scottish term for a minister’s house.
