Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address Delivered Before the American Whig and Cloisophic Societies The claims of the world upon the citizen-scholar, the educated man, is my subject. The occasion, as well as the audience, renders it peculiarly appropriate. This is no mere gala-day; neither should it be ail empty and formal celebration of an anniversary, a simple demonstration of respect for a time-honored usage. It should be an occasion for the renewal of our obligations to be useful to our generation, an accumulation of our offerings to the passing age, as well as to posterity. Their claims are founded in justice; to acknowledge them is duty, to repudiate them is criminal. "No man liveth to himself." None can divest themselves of the relations arising out of their social constitution; neither can any of us withhold our efforts to increase the stores of knowledge, or to advance the enterprise of civilization, without incurring the censure of the living and dishonoring the memory of the dead.
