"An Excursion to Canada" (II)
[Back to Calendar of Lectures]
NARRATIVE OF EVENT: The records of the
Concord Lyceum—which read "Wednesday [March] 17th [1852] Lecture by H. D.
Thoreau. Subject: Canada" (MassLyc, p. 166)—suggest that Thoreau
read a second installment of his Canada trip account on this date. His talk was the
sixteenth of eighteen in the season’s course of lectures (MassLyc, pp.
165-66).
ADVERTISEMENTS, REVIEWS, AND
RESPONSES: None known.
DESCRIPTION OF TOPIC: See
lecture 33 above. Thoreau apparently read the second half of the extant lecture manuscript
housed at CSmH (HM 949). |
