Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Address Delivered Before the Delta Phi and Athen�an Literary Societies of Newark College: September 23, 1840
The ship is but a very imperfect type of man. She may return from her voyage to the place whence she departed. Battered by the waves and worn by the winds she may at length make her way back to port. Her damage may be repaired and experience may enable her to escape in a second voyage, the errors and the dangers of the first. It is not thus with man. His departure is a final one. He never can retrace his course. He makes but one voyage. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
