Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Address Delivered Before the Members of the Anacostia Lyceum, and Visiters, "Upon the Nature and Objects of That Society" On the Evening of the 6th January, 1835
The works of all-creating wisdom, power, and goodness, were therefore the first objects upon which the reason of the first man was directed, by his Maker, to exercise itself; and although these works are yet but little understood, they are still daily published resplendently in every language; they are still seen, and partially read, with admiration and wonder in every land. Six thousand years have nearly elapsed since, in characters of light, the first impression was given upon the globe which we inhabit; and every method which the most expanded and scrutinizing human intelli gences could devise has since been resorted to, to analyze their component parts, and display the causes of their peculiar con formation, yet their efforts have scarcely proceeded farther than the title page, upon which is indelibly inscribed The works of God.
