Publisher's Synopsis
""Ultraists, Conservatives, Reformers"" is a speech given by Henry Brewster Stanton before the Adelphic Union Society of Williams College in 1850. In this speech, Stanton discusses the three political factions of the time: the ultraists, who advocated for radical change and believed in the abolition of slavery; the conservatives, who were resistant to change and believed in maintaining the status quo; and the reformers, who sought to make gradual changes to society. Stanton argues that while each faction has its merits, none of them are without flaws. He criticizes the ultraists for their extreme views and lack of practicality, the conservatives for their resistance to progress, and the reformers for their timidity and lack of conviction. Throughout the speech, Stanton emphasizes the importance of compromise and finding common ground between these factions in order to bring about meaningful change. He also discusses the role of education in shaping political opinions and encouraging critical thinking. Overall, ""Ultraists, Conservatives, Reformers"" provides a fascinating glimpse into the political climate of the mid-19th century and offers valuable insights into the challenges of navigating different political ideologies.Also Contains An Address Delivered Before The Adelphic Union Of Williams College, August 14, 1849; The True Nature Of The Beautiful And Its Influence Upon Culture, A Discourse; Strength And Beauty, A Baccalaureate Sermon; Faith, Philosophy, And Reason, A Baccalaureate Sermon By Mark Hopkins; And Others.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
