- This article discusses the establishment of the New Hampshire Historical Society in 1823, focusing on founder John Farmer. It quotes at length a letter Farmer wrote to lawyer John Kelly which reflects on the two hundredth anniversary of the settlement of Dover, New Hampshire. Other founding members are listed, including Farmer's business associate Jacob B. Moore, New Hampshire Governor Levi Woodbury, and U.S. Senator Jeremiah Mason. The author suggests that Farmer is the most widely published author of New Hampshire history.
