Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Address Delivered Before the American Whig and Cliasophic Societies: Of the College of New Jersey; September 26, 1837 You have called me from the discharge of other duties to address you. The attempt to comply with your request, has renewed my impression of the ties by which I am bound to this institution; and my obligations to promote the interests of those who, like yourselves, are connected with it. The retrospect of years which are past, and the anticipation of years which are to come, conspire to make me feel, that while I am a brother, addressing brothers in literature and friendship, I have other bonds to be a faithful counsellor to the younger members of these Societies. Here, more than thirty years ago, I received ail important part of my youthful training. I have never been able to recur to the employments which then occupied me - to the friendships which I formed - and the literary and social privileges which I enjoyed, without deep emotion. The remembrance of them has been the companion of my wanderings - the cause of excitement in a thousand joyous interviews - a stimulus to exertion in that which was manly and honorable - an aid in the hour of struggle - and comfort in moments of despondency. I never return hither, without those times and employments being before me, as if they were the existences of the present, and not the almost forgotten dreams of the past. Here, too, I caused to be educated those whom it is my natural duty to advise and protect. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
