Book excerpt: Excerpt from Address Delivered Before the Two Literary Societies of the University of North-Carolina, June 1, 1853 Gentlemen of the Philanthropic and Dialectic Societies: I propose to redeem my promise to address you on this occasion, by submitting, for your consideration, a few practical remarks upon the influence and responsibilities of the Lawyer. It has occurred to me that this subject might be appropriately and perhaps profitably discussed before an audience of whom a liberal portion is doubtless looking forward to the legal profession as the field of their future labors, and rewards and honors. When I speak of the lawyer, I mean an educated man- one whose intellectual faculties have been developed, disciplined and enlarged, preparatory to the labors of the professional student, and who has successfully encountered the obstacles which lie in his path as a student, and so far progressed in the science of the law as to entitle him to a place in the Temple of Justice, as one of her authorised advocates. It is the influence exerted by such a man on society, and the consequent responsibilities which attach to his position, on which I desire to enlist your indulgent attention during the next hour. My subject leads me, at the threshold, into the consideration of the power of mind over mind. I shall not be guilty of the presumption and folly, however, of undertaking to analyze the inherent properties and constituent elements of mind, or to elucidate the mysterious process by which its power is made effective. That "mind is power" is a truism; but a limit was given to this power by Him from whom it emanated, and to attempt to pass this limit would be worse than folly.
