Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abstract From the Returns of Agricultural Societies in Massachusetts: For the Year 1845, With Selections From Addresses at Cattle Shows and Fairs The Massachusetts Society for promoting Agriculture, the first association of the kind in the Commonwealth or in America, was founded in the year 1792, and incorporated by an Act of the General Court of that year. Obtaining means of operation by an annual assessment upon its members, and by a subscription amounting to four thousand dollars, a liberal sum for that period, it proceeded to invite public attention to its objects, to distribute premiums for agricultural improvements, and to import valuable animals with a view to the introduction of better breeds of cattle and other stock. In 797, it instituted the Agricultural Journal, a publication continued more than thirty years. It took measures for the institution of County Societies, and for the erection of a hall, at Brighton, in Middlesex, for the exhibition of domestics and other manufactures. It contributed to the establishment of the Professorship of Natural History, and of the Botanical Garden, in the University of Cambridge. In 1818. began a series of public addresses, pronounced successively at its automnal celebrations. by John Lowell, Josiah Quincy, Richard Sullivan, Henry Colman, Timothy Pickering, John C. Gray, James Richardson, Edward Everett, Henry A. S. Dearbon, and perhaps others. The delivery and publication of addresses from such sources exerted an important influence in attracting attention and favor to the objects of the association. The example was followed by other institutions for the same purpose. The Commonwealth extended to them its patronage; and the policy has been continued, and has grown in favor, to the present time. An Act of 1819 (chapter 114) appropriated two hundred dollars annually, from the Commonwealth's treasury, to every Society which should raise the sum of one thousand dollars for the promotion of agriculture, and in like proportion for any greater sum, not exceeding three thousand dollars. The following Table exhibits a list of the Agricultural Societies now in existence, with the dates of their incorporation respectively, the dates of their first grant of money, and the aggregate amounts received from the Commonwealth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of The Wall Street Journal's 10 best books of 2021 One of Air Mail's 10 best books of 2021 Winner of the Peter J. Gomes Memorial Book Prize In the year of the nation’s bicentennial, Robert A. Gross published The Minutemen and Their World, a paradigm-shaping study of Concord, Massachusetts, during the American Revolution. It won the prestigious Bancroft Prize and became a perennial bestseller. Forty years later, in this highly anticipated work, Gross returns to Concord and explores the meaning of an equally crucial moment in the American story: the rise of Transcendentalism. The Transcendentalists and Their World offers a fresh view of the thinkers whose outsize impact on philosophy and literature would spread from tiny Concord to all corners of the earth. Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and the Alcotts called this New England town home, and Thoreau drew on its life extensively in his classic Walden. But Concord from the 1820s through the 1840s was no pastoral place fit for poets and philosophers. The Transcendentalists and their neighbors lived through a transformative epoch of American life. A place of two thousand–plus souls in the antebellum era, Concord was a community in ferment, whose small, ordered society founded by Puritans and defended by Minutemen was dramatically unsettled through the expansive forces of capitalism and democracy and tightly integrated into the wider world. These changes challenged a world of inherited institutions and involuntary associations with a new premium on autonomy and choice. They exposed people to cosmopolitan currents of thought and endowed them with unparalleled opportunities. They fostered uncertainties, raised new hopes, stirred dreams of perfection, and created an audience for new ideas of individual freedom and democratic equality deeply resonant today. The Transcendentalists and Their World is both an intimate journey into the life of a community and a searching cultural study of major American writers as they plumbed the depths of the universe for spiritual truths and surveyed the rapidly changing contours of their own neighborhoods. It shows us familiar figures in American literature alongside their neighbors at every level of the social order, and it reveals how this common life in Concord entered powerfully into their works. No American community of the nineteenth century has been recovered so richly and with so acute an awareness of its place in the larger American story.
