Andrew Reed (1787-1862) was a Congregational Minister and one of
the leading philanthropists of his day, fund-raising for and
founding a number of orphanages and asylums. In 1834, he and fellow
Congregational Minister James Matheson (1766-1840) were sent to the
Congregational churches of the United States, in order to promote
peace and friendship between the two communities. This two-volume
1835 work consists of thirty-nine letters in which the authors
recount their journey, and their meetings with their fellow
Congregationalists. They visited a large number of cities, mostly
on the Eastern Seaboard, and made one excursion to Canada. Volume 2
tells of the many different communities that Reed and Matheson
encounter in America, and the focus is mostly on theological and
educational issues. They approve of female academies, asking
rhetorically, 'why should not our daughters, equally with our sons,
possess the advantages, which these institutions ... so readily
supply?'.
