Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Inaugural Address, Delivered in the City of Washington, March 11, 1829 Fellow Citizens, I stand before you as a public character. The station which I occupy, will, doubtless, give some additional influence to the sentiments which I may advance. This consideration inspired me with a deep sense of responsibility, and made me anxious to select a subject, which would be best suited to the present occasion. I might have chosen to address you upon the importance of classical learning; upon the circumstances in our country, which are peculiarly favorable to the progress of science and literature; or upon the connexion between the general diffusion of knowledge, and the stability of elective governments. But these topics I have declined, and have taken for my theme, The Business of Human Life. To gain a correct knowledge of this subject, and to act accordingly, will secure our welfare, not simply during our short probation, but during our endless existence. What then is the business of human life? In reply, I would say, that it is, in its highest design, to acquire that education in knowledge, and to form that character, which will qualify us for a future state of happiness. Before I present the proof of this sentiment, I will define what I mean by education. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
