The Clinton Saturday Courant reports:

Institute last Wednesday evening, by Thomas Drew, Esq., is considered by many as abou the best lecture of the course thus far delivered,—totally obscuring the fine-spun theories of [Ralph Waldo] Emerson and placing ‘Cape Cod’ amongst those ‘trifles, light as air,’ which serve to amuse, but not instruct, the listener.
