The symposium, or club, of whatever it was (Emerson called it something different almost every time he mentioned it--Hedge's Club, the Aesthetic Club, the Transcendental Club), was gathered at a pivotal moment, just as a number of its members were breaking into print.
The club was a forum for new ideas, a clearinghouse, full of yeast and ferment, informal, open-ended, far from the usual exclusive social clique conveyed by the word club.
The year the club was gathered, he published a Life of John Eliot and a short tract called "Christianity as a Purely Internal System." He was a moderate Unitarian, a liberal trusted by most radical sand most conservatives.

 UPNE | The Vermont Encyclopedia
Although agriculture was its mainstay, Vermont became famous for its high-grade marble and granite and, later, for the development of skiing, now one of its most important economic activities.
Entries include famous and infamous Vermonters, features of the physical landscape; political, economic, and social history; organizations like the 251 Club; and tidbits on nudism, the Wasp (the only car ever made in Vermont), the fabled fur-bearing trout, and the invention of the jogbra.
The editors subscribe to the notion that knowing Vermont today is enhanced by knowing the who, why, and when of how it came to be as it is, so The Vermont Encyclopedia both looks back in time and attends to the present.
