The American Agora Foundation, Inc., publisher of Lapham’s Quarterly, and its respective successors and assigns (the “American Agora Foundation,” “we,” “us” or “our”) welcome you to the Lapham’s Quarterly website (the “Site”).

Each issue addresses a topic of current interest and concern—War, Religion, Money, Medicine, Nature, Crime—by bringing up to the microphone of the present the advice and counsel of the past. Valuable observations of the human character and predicament don't become obsolete.
