Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Inaugural Address of the Rev. J. G. Binney, D. D: As President of the Columbian College, D. C., Wednesday, June 17, 1855 When hearers are anticipating interest connected with novelty, it is, to the speaker, a depressing consideration, that "the thing which hath been is that which shall be," and that "there is no new thing under the sun." Especially is this true of occasions like the present, when, from the nature of the case, every thought and almost every possible modification of thought have long since been made common property. But if with the wisest of men we are constrained to ask - "Is there anything whereof it may be said, See, this is new?" - it is a partial relief to this depression to consider, that the same wise man has immediately added, "There is no remembrance of former things." If the often repeated presentation of the claims of a Liberal Education had found a lodgement in the minds of men and had produced its legitimate effect in the community, there would remain as little motive to a renewed consideration of the subject, as there can be pleasure in it. But the highest interests of man, however ably reasoned and beautifully and forcibly illustrated, come slowly to occupy, in our minds and efforts, the place they so richly deserve.
