Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Discourse, Occasioned by the Recent Duel in Washington: Delivered March 4, 1838; In the Chapel of Harvard University, and in the Wesr Church, Boston This is rather to be done, because the principle of Honor is more likely, than regard for the law, to become the guide of men of the world. It hardly occurs to them to refer to the statute book for restraint or direction; while that prompt feeling of regard to the prevalent judgment of the community respecting character, which marks the sense of honor, is always present and operative. The anxiety to stand well in the estimation of the world, the fear of singularity, the dread of disgrace, is so strong, that men are often led thereby, in opposition to their judgment and inclinations, to do what others propose, lest by those others they should be held in less esteem. A principle so powerful and active demands to be occasionally scrutinized. It should be sometimes brought up to the sanctuary, to be rectified and adjusted by a comparison with the perfect standard of human character there held up. Let us attempt this to-day.
