Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Address Delivered at the Inauguration of the Faculty of Bristol College, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, April 2, 1834
The manuscript of the Address has been in readiness for publication since the time of its delivery, and it was the writer's design to submit it without the slightest alteration. On re-reading it, however, since the close of the term, and recollecting the haste in which it had been written, amidst the frequent interruptions of pressing College duty, he could not resist the impression, that if printed verbatim as it was pronounced, (though it might as a mere pamphlet have but a very limited circulation, ) it would do dis-service to the College, instead of benefiting it. He has therefore felt at liberty, with this candid statement, to submit it, imperfect as it still is, with some few alterations.
The attention of the reader is particularly invited to the Appendix.
