- catalog description "Manasseh Culter graduated from Yale in 1765. In October 1768 he decided to study for the ministry, in November 1769 he left Edgartown and returned to Dedham to continue his divinity studies with his wife's father, Rev. Thomas Balch. He received a master's degree from Harvard in July, 1770, and he was appointed minister of Ipswich Hamlet in 1771. During the Revolutionary War Culter seved at intervals as an army chaplain and began to study medicine. His medical studies led to an interest in botany. He prepared a major botanical paper titled: An account of some of the vegetable productions naturally growing in the part of America botanically arranged, which was published in the first volume of the Memoirs of the American Academy of Arts and Science, 1785. Cutler was dissatisfied with the Linnaean arrangement which he had used in his account and in 1783 began making detailed notes on plants he saw in an effort to find some better system. He continued making these notes for many years, but he was never able to complete the revised work he intended to publish. Most of his notebooks survive but his herbarium which was said to be extensive was destroyed by fire. He served as a U.S. Congressional representative, 1800- 1804.".
