Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Life of Dr. Benjamin Rush
At the age of fourteen he was removed to Princeton college, then under the direction of the Rev. Dr. Davies, one of the most eloquent divines of the age, and signalized no less by his piety than his elocution. Here, although it does not appear that he particularly distinguished himself, he is known to have maintained a very respectable standing, especially when it is recollected that he was the youngest member of his class. In the month of September 1760, when he had not yet completed his sixteenth year, he obtained the degree of Bachelor of Arts.
Possessed of a lively imagination, a readiness in debate, and a talent for public speaking, and actuated by the impulse of a laudable ambition.
