Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Literary Addresses, Delivered at Various Popular Institutions Gentlemen, - I know no prouder position than that of a public man, engaged in an arduous struggle - uncertain of the sympathy and approval of even his friends - almost doubtful of his own judgment - who is called upon to receive such a mark of approbation and encouragement as you have been pleased to confer upon me this day. In almost every other country but this, men who take part in public affairs, or devote themselves to the pursuit of literature, look for their rewards in those titles and honourable distinctions which it is the privilege of a Monarch to bestow, and the bestowal of which is amongst the most noble prerogatives of royalty. Of such rewards. Governments the most despotic and the most jealous are not niggard. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Address Delivered Before the Literary Societies of Amherst College: August 25, 1835 The place of our meeting, the season of the year, and the occasion, which has called us together, seem to prescribe to us the general topics of our discourse. We are assembled within the precincts of a place of education. It is the season of the year, at which the seminaries of learning throughout the coun try are dismissing to the duties of life that class of their students, whose collegiate course is run. The immediate call, which has brought us together at this time, is the invitation of the members of the literary societies of this highly respectable and fast rising institution, who, agreeably to academical usage, on the eve of their departure from a spot endeared to them, by all the pleasant associations of collegiate life, are desirous, by one more act of literary communion, to strengthen the bond of intellectual fellowship and alleviate the regrets of separation. In the entire uncertainty of all that is before us, for good or for evil, there is nothing so nearly certain, as that we, who are here assembled to-day, shall never, in the Providence of God, be all brought together again in this world. Such an event is scarcely more within the range of probability, than that the individual drops, which, at this moment, make up the rushing stream of yonder queen of the valley, mounting in vapor - to the clouds and scattered to the four winds, will, at some future period, be driven together and fall in rains upon the hills, and flow down and recompose the identical river, that is now spread ing abundance and beauty, before our eyes. To say nothing of the dread summons, which comes to all when least expected. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

We are assembled here in performance of our part of a process which is going on at present more slowly than might he wished, but which is at length fairly entered upon, and must advance with more rapidity as example sanctions and persuasion urges it; and will, I trust, in a very few years, he in active progress in every town, village, and parish in the kingdom - a process on which it is no exaggeration to say, that the future destinies of this empire will very mainly depend - because on it depends, by a natural and indissoluble link, our capacity as a nation for a high degree of civil liberty. The process I mean is the active endeavour, on the part of every one who can lend a hand to it, to improve the standard of moral and intellectual culture in the mass of the people.

Download or read book An Address Delivered Before the Literary Societies of Centre College Ky written by Edward P. Humphrey and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-01-27 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Address Delivered Before the Literary Societies of Centre College, Ky: June 25, 1850 Declaration of Rights, although expressed in guarded and kingly phrase, contained the germ of all the free institutions of England. The written charters, recently granted by the liberality or extorted from the fears of the European princes, may seem to recognize few privileges and fewer rights as be longing to the people; ret these instruments establish princi ples on which future revolutions will move in procession, until monarchy is either destroyed as in France, or consents to the freedom of the subject as in England. The establishment of a parliament also, under the name of the congress, council, or cortez, is not only an innovation, but is, in fact, a revolution. The monarchy is absolute no longer. The assembly may, at first, enjoy but a shadow of power; it may be composed exclusively of the nobility, or of a portion only of that order, and that portion selected by the crown; yet it is, in some sort, even then, a popular assembly. The history of the English parliament, at first feudal, com posed of barons, knights, and bishops, now reformed, and composed in part of a house of commons, then sitting with limited and now with almost unlimited powers, clearly shows what are the inherent tendencies of such an assembly. These are irresistible towards successive changes, both in its constitution and its prerogatives, until it becomes, in the first place, a representative assembly, chosen by the people, and, secondly, a body holding the purse and the sword - a power around the throne greater than the throne itself. Such will, unquestionably, be the history of the European councils. With these three forces in motion, we may conclude that lib erty in Europe has received a mighty impulse since the cen tury began, and will experience a mighty development before the century shall close.

This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Address, Delivered Before the Phi Beta Kappa Society of Harvard University: On Classical Learning and Eloquence I complain -i complain, that the spirit of the age, and, I fear, the spirit of our government, and, I am sure, the present habits and impulses of society among us, notwithstanding the fine things which have been said of it (partly by ourselves), are adverse to the growth and cultivation of the more delicate and finer species of literature. I complain especially, that classical litera ture is little cultivated; less cultivated than it was; not absolutely, perhaps, but compared with the ad vancement of other things - it is not loved, it is not followed, as it used to be;-nay, I fear that at this moment it is barely in repute among us. I complain that education is not what it should be in this respect, even here in the midst of the flourishing schools of New England (in general our just boast), and in this enlightened age, which so vaunteth itself beyond its predecessors. And I charge you who have any lin gering love of classical literature, all who regard the great common cause of letters, all who have at heart the real welfare and substantial reputation of our coun try, I charge you all, as you love that country and her institutions and those children Whom you hope shall inherit them, that you look carefully and candidly at the actual condition and prospects of our literary affairs.
