Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The American Journal of Education and College Review, Vol. 2: From July to December, 1856
The tree is yet more than the apple which drops from it. Man is of more worth than all the effects which he produces. Next to God, man is God And it should be so. He is the son of God. But this original power of individual man needs means of ezer cising itself. God works by thinking. Effects follow volitions. But between human volitions and effects there must be some inter mediate instrument. Men pour forth their power through material instrumentalities. Society is the aggregate of all those instruments by which individuals exert their separate personalities. A man without institutions is a fountain without an egress; like a soul without bodily members to work with; like a body without a hand, or a hand without fingers.
