Plan for a National School of Agriculture

This 11-page pamphlet, dated December 14, 1838, and supplemented by three fold-out pages of building plans, presents Charles Lewis Fleischmann's proposal for a National School of Agriculture. Fleischmann, an agricultural expert trained in Germany, outlines his vision for this institution. While his religious affiliation is not explicitly stated and requires further research, the document is a significant contribution to the history of agricultural education in the United States.
