Book excerpt: Excerpt from Moral Education: A Lecture Delivered at New Bedford, August 16, 1842, Before the American Institute of Instruction To come forward to point out the fearful mistake we have made, and to presume to show how it may be corrected, should need, I am aware, an apology. While there is a class of men, whose high office it is to educate our moral and spiritual powers, to reinstate conscience on its throne, and show us how all else should be brought into subjection to it, it would have been much more fit that one of this class should now occupy this palace. and tech us this lesson; and I cannot but feel how much more reverently, on such a subject, you would have listened to his voice. But they have done their part of the work. The great truths have been clearly declared. The high principles have been eloquently laid down. An humbler but not less essential part is ours; not to reason out new truths, not to bring new illustrations, but to draw conclusions which may be applicable to the daily duties of our life, and faithfully, wisely, and courageously, to apply them. In treating this subject, we shall first endeavor to ascertain what is to be done. What is the moral education at which we should aim? In the second place, What have we to act upon? And lastly, How shall we effect our purpose. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
