Excerpt from Address Delivered Before the Two Literary Societies of the University of North Carolina: June 4, 1851From the broad plain Of Philosophical Inquiry from the Wide field Of Literary Speculation - and from the extended domain of Science and Art, various sub jects arise, that would be attractive to the speaker, and which are commended to his consideration by the pre eminence usually given to them as themes for discussion at literary anniversaries, but your well-stored libraries furnish sources for acquisition in all the departments oflearning, far more accurate and lucid than any disserta~ tion, comprised in the condensed form of an Address, however elaborate the argument, and though its reason ing might be presented in all the brilliancy and glow, and with all the intensity of eloquence. Books are the real sources of all learning. They perpetuate truth they record the discoveries in science. And when the truths they contain are expounded, and the discoveries they record are illustrated, by the wise and learned men who direct your studies here, no more royal road to learning can be devised, and the youth may well despair of attaining excellence, who sighs for other channels of instruction.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
