Mr. Moncube D. Conway, an American now in England,
respectfully informs your Committee that he is prepared to
deliver, during the coming season, Two Lectures on
THE PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE OF NEW ENGLAND.
I. The Pilgrims of the Mayflower—the Colony at Plymouth
—the planting of the Church, the State, and the School—the
Manners, Customs, and Ideas of the Puritans—the Geography
and Natural History of the Country—the Indians—the settle
ments of Six States—the First Confederation—the Quakers—
the Witches—the Dawn of a New Era with the Eighteenth
Century.
II. The Formation of a distinctive American Thought and
Character—Franklin, and his Influence—the Colonies and Eng
land—the Chase after Regicides—the War of Independence—
the Effect of Liberty—the Union—Social Formation—the
present Moral, Social, and Physical Condition of New England,
and its Influence on the American Continent—the Modification
of the Anglo-Saxon in America—the Statesmen and Literary
Men of New England—Education—American Tendencies.
A Map is used in illustrating the Geography and Settle
ment of New England.
These Lectures have been newly prepared from four written
last year for the Philosophical Institution of Edinburgh, and
given there and elsewhere, and one delivered in February last
�at the Royal Institution, of Great Britain,—with what success
may be gathered from the subjoined extracts A
“Person® of extremely cultivated judgment, who heard your lecture
at the Royal Institution, have expressed to me the pleasure they derived
from this discourse. They regarded its delivery as perfectly successful.”
—From a Note to the Lecturer written by Professor Tyndall.
“At the Royal Institution, on Friday, the birthday of Washington,
Mr, M. D. Conway delivered a lecture on ‘New England.’ He gave a
very interesting account of the trans-shipment of the Pilgrim Fatherssto
America in 1620. . . . Mr. Conway proceeded to point out in a very
Interesting manner the progress of the settlers in New England, and
their spread over the other? States of America*. In the course of
his lecture, Mr. Conway adverted to a curious fact, which he had men
tioned a few evenings previously at the Ethnological Societflg-that as
the original settlersfadvanced intflthe country, they become gradually
physically changed, and assume some of the pointed characteristics of the
Indians among whom they are located.”— The Morning Post.
“ The lecturer Eve a glowing picture of the summer beauties and
autumnal splendours of the country, and also gave some account of its
natural history, . . . Mr. Conway ^concluded his” (second) “lecture by
giving some amusing illustrations of the Puritan severity in enforcing
Sabbath observance, by resorting to the stocks, and so forth. He also
gave a few specimens of their earlier hymns. . . . The lecturer was listened
to throughout with close attention” (third evening)^ and was repeatedly
applauded during the delivery of the lecgire.”—Scotsman.
“ The lecture was one of great interest, and was treated in a highly
philosophical manner. . . . His account of the first settlers was peculiarly
interesting. On the whole, the lecture was a remarkably able one, and
evinced a thorough knowledge of the subject.”—Car lisle Journal.
“The style of the lecturer, or rather of his composition, was singu
larly elegant and neat* His observations were rather the expressions
of well-matured convictions, than the loud sentiments of the orator”—
Carlisle Chronicle.
“ Last night, a very admirable lecture, on the New-England States,
was delivered in our Mechanics’ Hall, by Mr. M. D. Conway*of Virginia.
, * , Their (the Pilgrims’) hard battle with adversity was graphically
described. The subsequent history of the country, he neatly sketched fl
and at last eame t® the growth of anti-slavery sentiment in New England
—which he dilated upon with an eloquence which stirred his audience to
frequent applause. One special feature in New-England institutions bfl
Commended to our imitation—the free-school system,. which was based
�upon the belief, that a man must no more be permitted to starve his
child’s mind than its body” (Applause)Carlisle Examiner.
" “ Mr. M. D. Conway, a popular American writer, whose reputation,
in common with all that is genuine, has not failed to be established on
this side of the Atlanta^ delivered the first of a series of lectures last
night; . . . an admirable discourse.”
“His lectures during the week have proved a powerful source of
attraction,”—-Northern Daily Express. gE
“ The” (first) “lecture, which was interspersed with many passages of
wit and humour, was well received throughout, the lecturer being fre*
quently applauded.”
“The” (concluding) “lecture was listened to by the largest audience
of the season, amidst the most earnest and sustained attention, and was
repeatedly applauded?*
“Mr. Conway possesses a clear, vivacious, incisive, and pictorial style.
He paints a picture or demolishes a fallacy with equal ease. 4 Circum
stances have raised him above the mere conventionalities of thought. His
treatment of whatever topic he touches is fearless and trenchant. But,
withal, there is a deep vein of tenderness and reverence in this Virginian.”
44 Mr. Conway is a concrete, father than an abstract, thinker. His
ideas recall the original import of the word, being eminently pictorial.
» , * Only the impact <rf mind on mind was Mt. Such as have not yet'
heard him, we would recommend not to low this opportunity of hearing
one of the most distinguished men the New World has yet sent the Old.”
— The Newcastle Daily Chronicle.
