Tuck, ) Hon. A. Randall, > Committee.
N. Brewer, Esq., ) ADDRESS.
Gentlemen of the Philomathian and PhiloJcalian Socie- ties of Saint John's College: I could not well give you a stronger proof of my interest in your Societies than my compliance with your request; since few things are less in the line of my pursuits than the delivery of such an address as your invitation deserves. For among a multitude of unfoun- ded charges against our profession there is this true one, that the Law is a jealou...s mistress, too exacting to yield much time for other pursuits, and especially intolerant of excursions into the fields of Literature or Fancy.
And I am painfully aware how much the intrinsic dif- ficulty of the undertaking is increased in my case, for the crude remarks that professional and other engage- ments have in some sort rendered a necessity with me on the present occasion, must contrast most unfavorably with the polished orations your invitations have called forth in former years.
I propose this evening to consider whether the diffu- sion of general education, as far as it has progressed in our day, has realized for the world at large, the benefi- cent results predicted by its advocates; and then to in- quire what responsibilities attach to us, as recipients of its blessings, for its further advancement.
