Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Writings, Levi Woodbury, LL. D, Vol. 3 of 3: Political, Judicial and Literary; Now First Selected and Arranged; Literary
The importance of knowledge, so far as regards the professional ranks of society, is too trite a theme, and has too long been advocated, to require further illustration. But the importance of portions of general literature to all other ranks, and the importance of the mere sciences to mankind at large, and especially to improvements in the mechanic arts, have been considered more questionable, and may well receive some particular attention on an occasion like the present.
