Abstract
Notes for a lecture delivered by Edward Hitchcock discussing the uses of physical science in missionary work. Hitchcock claims that knowledge of physical science can help the native people develop resources, can help relieve them from superstitions, and can show the fallacy of their sacred texts. He finishes with a list of some specific areas of knowledge that physical science can assist with, including anatomy and physiology, animal life, and astronomy. Hitchcock has written "Amherst College Monthly Concert June 1848," which suggests the lecture was given at Amherst College.
