Excerpt from An Annual Discourse Delivered Before the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, November 19, 1828 Gentlemen of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, The retrospect of individual life, is enjoined by the precepts of religion, and by the cold calculations of philosophy. While Christianity directs each of us, to look back upon his past career, distinguishing its folly and its wisdom with the keen perceptions of experience, the obvious dictates of mere worldly interest, suggest our future progress from the results of the past. Social communities feel the utility of self-examination, so far as it can be applied to their condition, and upon a still broader scale, nations acknowledge the authority of the same law, in their domestic policy, and practically submit to, and are controlled by it, in their foreign intercourse. There is something invigorating and grateful in the setting apart of certain periods, for the appropriate acknowledgement of interesting events. Individuals feel an innocent pleasure, in the celebration of their birth-days. Communities derive profit and edification from stated commemorations, whether of well fought battles, won in the cause of liberty, or of powerful displays of generous patriotism, manifested in the civil administration of the state.

Excerpt from A Discourse: Delivered Before the Virginia Historical Society, at Their Eighth Annual Meeting, December 14, 1854 Doubtless the wild man ofthe woods could distinguish between sounds, as pleasant or unpleasant, as grave or gay, but what sense had he ofthe hidden ha'rraonies which oated in the air around him Did he dream that the very air which he breathed could be modulated into sounds which subdue the senses by their tones, and stir the soul to its inmost depths, speaking in the only universal language known to man, with an unerring concord and a certainty of expression which the original curse of Babel has never reached to confuse or destroy? So, too, he must have had some idea of the beautiful, in the forms ofthings; but it was as transitory as the lights and shadows which itted by. Him. To fix the idea ere it fled, and reproduce it in forms more eloquent than words; to make sentient the cold impassive stone, and to embalm emotions and sentiments in lights borrowed from heaven, would have been indeed to him an art and a faculty divine, so far did it transcend his power of execution. Nor is the superiority of the last over the former generation of the men ofl whom I have been Speaking, less striking in a moral, than in a physical point of view. Conceptions over which a Newton, or a Leibnitz, or Bernouilli, or Euler, toiled in his study, are now the daily exercises of boys at college; and the higherand subtler analysis of La Grange, or La Place, -is probably destined to be mastered with equal facility hereafter. Ideas whose origination cost so much to a Plato, or an Aristotle, 1 Bacon, a Des Cartes, or a Kant, are now the' commonproperty of the world, and thousands understand thoughts which probably not one of them could have discovered.

Excerpt from A Discourse, Delivered in the Chapel of Nassau-Hall, Before the Literary and Philosophical Society of New Jersey, at Its First Annual-Meeting, September 27, 1825 When this Discourse was delivered, it was prefaced with the following statement. "It is well known to all present, that the venerable and honoured President of our Society was appointed, and fully expected to perform this service. They will all, no doubt, regret, with me, that he found himself unable to fulfil his appointment; and that we cannot on the present occasion be instructed by his learning, wisdom and experience. It was not until Tuesday last that the least hint was given to me that I should be requested to appear as the substitute of that distinguished Individual. And, unfortunately, during the greater part of these five days, my time has been laboriously occupied with other and indispensable engagements of an official kind. In these circumstances, I am aware that, in venturing to comply with the request of the Executive Committee, I lay myself open to the charge of indiscretion, if not of temerity. If such should be the impression of my hearers, I trust they will find an apology for me in my ardent zeal for the welfare of our Society; and my earnest wish to avoid the pain of a total disappointment in the very first effort to introduce it to the notice of the publick."
