Description
Worcester, [MA]: Henry J. Howland, printer, 199 Main Street, 1849. Broadside. 25.5 x 19 cm. "Tickets for the course may be obtained of the Secretary, and at the Bookstores, at the following prices: gentlemen, $1.00. Ladies and minors, $0,50. All purchasers of tickets will be entitled to the use of the library, containing about 1200 volumes of well selected books, for the whole year." Text within a typographical border, signed in type by Edward Southwick, Secretary of the Lyceum. Old fold lines, lower margin chipped with a few short tears. Long sliver missing from left-hand margin. No text lost. Ambitious series of lectures over a period of 15 weeks. The list of speakers, decidedly liberal, includes Warren Burton, Mark Hopkins, Theodore Parker, Elihu Burritt, Wendell Phillips, R.H. Dana, Jr., and Henry Ward Beecher. The Lyceum was established in 1829 and had 190 members by 1835: "But these numbers do not indicate the attendance [at the lectures]; the great hall of the Town House has been thronged with a continually increasing crowd...." --Lincoln, History of Worcester, 1837. OCLC: AAS.
