Excerpt from Address Delivered Before the New Hampshire Agriculture Society, at Its Third Annual Exhibition, in Meredith-Bridge, Oct: 7, 1852 It is a truth, that all have their prejudices. There is no man, no class of men, no nation, that has not prejudices, peculiar to the individual, the class, and the people. The Lawyer, reared with a reverence for black-letter, and the mould of age, bows with a delighted awe before some statute, with its steel-trap clauses, that has come down to us, from the days of "good Queen Bess." The prolix statement of a small matter, ingeniously avoiding all reference to the facts aimed at, and rendered still more obscure by an interlarding of villainously-bad Latin, he regards as the very "perfection of human reason, " and we have seen him contend, with an energy worthy of a better cause, for the retention of abuses, that, to him, were hallowed by Time. Physicians, of every school, are filled with prejudices. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
