Excerpt from An Address Delivered Before the Alumni Association of the College of New Jersey, June 23, 1863 IT was my lot a few years since, in the course of a summer excursion among the mountains, to cross a stream so near to its fountain-head, that the passage required no greater effort than simply to step from one bank to the other. The infant river was as yet but a brook. It so chanced that the stream and the traveller were journeying in the same direction, and not the least among the pleasures of the journey was the opportunity which it afforded to watch from day to day the gradual transformation of my fellow traveller; and when at length I had reached the broad savannas through which the majestic stream, now floating the commerce of many lands upon its surface, found its way into the sea, it was difficult to realize that the mighty river and the diminutive rivulet were one and the same.

Excerpt from An Address, Delivered Before the Alumni Association of Marshall College, September 27th, 1842 All truth must be contemplated as it exists in itself or objectively, and as it exists in the sphere of mind or subjectively as it exists in itself, it is the object upon which the powers of the intellect are ex ercised, and as it exists in the sphere of mind, it constitutes a part of the general life of the individual. There is a world without us, and a world within us; the one is the exact counterpart of the other. Mind must approach and reproduce the object in itself thus the ob ject may obtain an existence in the subject; in the one case truth ex ists in reality according to its own nature, in the other it exists in idea, modified by individuality. Truth in itself is absolutely independent of mind for it is what it is because it has proceeded directly from God as its original ground hence its nature, its laws and its end are the same whether it is apprehended and imbibed by the mind of man or not. But the laws of mind are in perfect harmony with the nature of truth. Since, therefore, it is endowed with powers precisely adapt ed in their nature to the perception and reproduction of objective truth, an idea can be formed of a single one or of any number of truths as they are in themselves and whenthis idea, formed by logical think ing, corresponds in every respect with the object of thought, the mind possesses that kind of knowledge which is called Science. Science has consequently a principle and life of its own which must develope itself organically. The spirit and laws of Science cannot be any thing different from the nature of truth, objectively considered. For a thing' must come to exist in'the sphere of mind by inductive reasoning as it exist in itself, before the mind can be said to possess a true idea of it. The principle and laws of Science are therefore independent of the arbitrary determination of man. These can only be determined by truth, considered as the object of thought. Hence mind must be regarded not as the arbiter but as the servant of Science. The objective world, independent in its origin, spirit and end of the will of man, possesses a life and laws of its own, which it is obligatory upon mind to enter and reproduce. What then is the simple collection of facts according to the succession of What the nice arrangement of known truths in accordance with a plan, call ed a system, that has been sketched by human understanding, With out regarding the necessity xlyingin the subject of investigation, which alone can determine the proper form of a science? Destitute. Of theprinciple which a science is required to have - destitute of the com. Mon life which must pervade all theparts constituting the whole, and destitute of the proper relation which all the parts must sustain to each other and to the common principle; such systems, although they may tell with powerful effect upon the character and destinies of men, can nevertheless lay no claim to possessing the true spirit of science.

Excerpt from An Address Delivered Before the American Whig and Cliasophic Societies: Of the College of New Jersey; September 26, 1837 Here, too, I caused to be educated those whom it is my natural duty to advise and protect. It was but twelve short months ago, at our last meeting, that those mingled with you, to listen to the counsels which the occasion might dictate, who constitute the all of manhood which I Shall ever give tothe cause of literature and liberty, morals and human happi ness. For fifteen years too, it has been my official trust, as one of the guardians of this institution, to provide for the instruction of those who were committed to it; to watch over their morals and Secure to them the lessons which should guide them in the paths of duty and usefulness. Approaching you under such circumstances, you will not expect me, nor shall I have either the power or the inclination, to trifle with matters of fancy or deal in flowers of rhetoric. But what shall be my theme? Shall it be, the life of the educated man - the past, with its joys and its sorrows - the future with its solicitudes, its hopes and its duties? The pleasures, the obligations, and the appropriate results of literary and scientific acquirements? The character, history, and principles of education which have distinguished this seminary, to the benefit of our country and the cause of Christianity? These might be appropriate topics - but I have discussed them on former occasions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Address and Poem Delivered Before the Society of Alumni of Williams College: August 14, 1855 And it is good for us to be here good to lay our Offerings anew upon these altars; to Open our ear again' to the calm teachings of a pure science and a true philosophy' - teachings so often drowned by the hoarse voices ofthe world; and feel our pulses quicken with a fresh inspiration, and a return ing strength for the: toilsome day before Us.
