VIII. Lectures, 1868-1925, undated

 Series
Identifier: VIII.

Scope and Contents

Series VIII. Lectures includes notes and materials arranged topically. Through the popular Lowell Institute of Boston lecture series in 1882, Morse was able to introduce his American audience to an appreciation of oriental society and culture. Earlier undated lectures may reflect his itinerant teaching and his efforts to introduce Darwinian evolutionary theory and other scientific topics to academic as well as popular audiences.
