Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Address Delivered Before the Rush Medical Society, in the Willoughby Medical College: January, A. D. 1846
I venture to invite your attention for a brief hour, to one ofthe most trite and threadbare, and yet one of the most important, and therefore useful topics that can be selected. But I can hardly hope to present so familiar a form in a new attire. Or so to direct the incident light, that one new feature will be revealed, or an old one rendered more striking.
My theme is the hackneyed subject of education the very announcement of which, may excite the unwelcome anticipation of hearing reiterated, for the ten-thousandth time, facts as famil iar, and deductions as uninteresting as our school-boy tasks.
