Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Address, Part of Which, Only Was Delivered Upon the Opening of Baltimore College The reader will please to observe, that the following Address is exhibited to the public, rather as a compilation, than an original production. The plan, and arrangement, are in some degree new, though the language and observations may be thought trite and common. The Author is sensible of its many errors and defects; yet if it be considered, that it was written in those hours of relaxation from the severe duties of a laborious, daily occupation, when the mind was wearied out and exhausted by the fatigue of academical teaching, this may be pleaded as an apology for its imperfections. The authorities alluded to in the work, are Enfield's history of Philosophy, Kett's Elements, Warton's Dissertations, Robertson's Charles 5th, Hume, Henry and Gibbon's histories, and the Encyclopœdia; with some other writers of celebrity, who are quoted from memory. Among the ancient authors, some facts are cited, from Homer, Pindar, Longinus, Horace, Virgil, Livy, Sallust, Tacitus and Seneca, The sermon was delivered in Baltimore upon the occasion of the death of a respected brother Mason, and which, at the time, gave such satisfaction, as produced an invitation to have it published; the author did not find it convenient to comply with the request at the time, but postponed it until the present period.
