Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Address Delivered Before the Literary Societies of Hamilton College: July 22, 1845, Clinton, N. Y
In accepting the invitation of your Committee to address you upon this occasion, I overlooked the very inadequate preparation which a constant pressure of arduous duties would enable me 'to make; in the strong desire which I felt, to stand once more, after the lapse of many years, in the midst of these well-remembered scenes; and to call up, from the dusky shadows of the past, those early associations and those old memories, which are ever blended with by-gone visions of youthful happiness, and which the heart Still cherishes, as among the most precious of its possessions.
