Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Address, Delivered Before the Phi Beta Kappa Society of Harvard University: On Classical Learning and Eloquence Mr. President and Gentlemen: Every speaker, who addresses any assembly for whatever purpose in the present crisis of affairs is strongly tempted to find his theme in that all-absorbing subject, national politics. But the occasion of literary festival (may I not say the chief literary festival of New England?) held in this seat of learning, by an association of lettered men, demands that something should be done or attempted for the cause of letters. Conscious of my poor ability to do justice to this cause in any of its wide-spread relations, I approach the subject with great diffidence; and should gladly have avoided altogether this honorable responsibility, had I any more acceptable excuse than that pressure of other affairs, which, being common to all of us, should be lightly pleaded by none.
