Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Address Delivered Before the Philoclean and Peithessopian Societies of Rutgers College
In executing the responsible office here assigned me, the time will not allow me to indulge in any wide range of observation; but I shall attempt to follow such a course of remark, while calling your attention to one principal topic, as may enable me to impress you, as far as my poor ability will go, with some ge neral principles, and such an order and train of thought and re?ection, as may stand you in good stead in hours of casual need, and, in some degree, supply the place and meet the want of more particu lar and minute directions. Only, I beg of you, do not expect too much from me. An honest effort in your behalf, and which shall at the same time be an honest effort in behalf of society and of our common country, is all that I can promise; for the ability which shall characterize it, I can only furnish it in that humble measure according to which it hath pleased God to endow me with it.
