Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Address on the Vice of Gambling: Delivered to the Medical Pupils of Transylvania University, November 4, 1834
I shall close these introductory remarks, by observing, that, should I fail to make good, in detail, what I have thus premis ed, in general terms, the fault will be in myself; not in the mat ter and means at my disposal. They are ample. On my own head, therefore, let the penalty fall. If, on the con trary, I succeed in my effort, I trust that no ingenuous and honorable youth, who favours me with his attention, and is ambitions of usefulness and a spotless name, will ever resort to public haunts, or mingle in private Circles, where gaming is practised. I ?atter myself he will be prevailed on to re gard such places and associations in their true character, as vicious in their principles, and dangerous in their tendencies to his reputation and interests, as well as to the community, in which he resides.
