Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from George and Democracy: Address Delivered by James V. Coleman Before the Society of Alumni, Georgetown College, June 27, 1887 Ladies and Gentlemen: In thanking my brother Alumni for the great honor they have conferred on me in selecting me to deliver the address on this occasion, I find myself sadly wanting in power of expression. For me, then, let brevity be the soul of gratitude. I know of no better or completer expression of my feelings than a plain "I thank you - ." The time is rife with social problems, and the world is jostled by social reformers. The dismal science of political economy has been arrayed in fashionable garments, and the drawing-room vies with the workshop in the discussion of her mysterious ways. The old order no longer satisfies, and perhaps with reason. Doctrines and theories that would have filled the conditions of a hundred years ago are essentially inapplicable to the advanced enlightenment of to-day, and modern thought is busy with a thousand schemes of social reform. But, while honesty and philanthropy conduct the efforts of some, too many of these would-be teachers are prompted by motives that are anything but noble or disinterested. They show us so many paths, that we hesitate, and know not which to take. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
