Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Address Delivered in the Church at Princeton The period has arrived, which dissolves the immediate connexion between this venerable institution and a portion of its pupils. A period, which at the same time, advances in the dignity of scholarship and in progress towards a similar consummation, all who enjoy its inestimable advantages. They who have terminated their college studies, and they, (still happier if they knew their true interests,) who have yet before them a part of their career, look forward with delight to the moment of fancied emancipation. Believe me, it is a moment less to be desired than deplored. The breach that is made in friendships formed in the ardor and sincerity of youth, is apparently the single mitigation to the joy which is anticipated on entering the busy world. But it is in truth the least important of the results which attend the separation. Time, which matures the faculties and expands the intellect of man; and observation and experience, which render him so many good offices in the development of the riches of nature and of art; serve too, to perform the thankless duty of removing the veil which is mercifully spread over many a distant mournful reality, and of putting to flight, the gayest and most delightful delusions, with which the future is peopled by the imagination. From this period the two chief sources of human happiness begin to fail. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
