Description:
Handwritten lecture by Rev. Ezra Ripley (1751-1841). Additional information indicates that the address was given "at Stow Oct. 22d. At Littleton Nov. 2d 1830. Octo. 16, 1833. At Carlisle Lyceum. At Lowell." Pages are numbered 1 through 23. Two unnumbered pages come between pages 11 and 12. Ezra Ripley replaced William Emerson (1743-1776) as pastor in Concord in November 1778 and boarded at The Old Manse in one of the attic chambers. Two years later, Ripley married Emerson’s widow, Phebe Bliss Emerson (1741-1825). In 1934, Ripley invited his step-grandson Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) to stay at The Old Manse. Emerson and his mother stayed with Ripley for a year, and during this time, he wrote the first draft of his important Transcendentalist work, Nature, in the upstairs study.
