Title: Lecture, no. 8 - A Voice in Behalf of the Oppressed
Identifier(s): text:324520
Description: This volume includes six lectures, with rough drafts of two, on natural history, health, marriage and domestic happiness, the role of Peale's museum in educating the public, and a defense of Quaker pacifism. Some lectures have notes in an unknown hand. Three lectures are undated. This small collection contains a series of lectures that Peale delivered on a range of very important issues of the day. They include lectures on marriage, on natural history (four lectures), on the museum's educational purpose, on domestic happiness, and on health. All of these lectures hope to outline ways to improve society. There is also a fascinating lecture titled "a voice in behalf of the oppressed." Interestingly, part of this lecture defends Quaker pacifism, which runs counter to much of Peale's actions in the Revolutionary War in which he arrested pacifists. This change of heart that also comes through in his Autobiography when he apologizes for targeting Quakers during the war.
