Sobre este artículo
Philadelphia: Printed by T. Dobson, 175.00. 8vo. 230 x 145 mm., [9 x 5 ¾ inches]. 14 pp. Removed from binding; edges of paper a bit chipped, spine secured with Japanese paper. "This society was instituted in the year 1780, in the city of Philadelphia, for the purpose of keeping up the knowledge of the German language, and to preserve it in its purity." Filled with the righteousness of the victorious, Shultz echoed the call for a nationalistic spirit in American but cautioned against the loss of the German culture and language that was so important to many citizens of Pennsylvania. The Mosheimian Society was organized in 1789 by Justus Heinrich Christian Helmuth, an immigrant from Halle, Germany with the goal of creating a comprehensive education system, with an emphasis on adult literary skills in the German language and culture. Like most of its members, Benjamin Schultz was a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania. He is most remembered as a physician and advocate of vaccination, who acted as a circuit rider and itinerant "vaccinator" in Pennsylvania. He petitioned President Madison for an official position that would allow him to travel wherever he was needed to vaccinate the public in any state in the union.
