Addresses by Rev. Jesse Appleton, D. D
Excerpt from Addresses by Rev. Jesse Appleton, D. D
With a view to render the publication a'n useful manual for the future students of the institution, as well as an interesting me? Morial to those who'have enjoyed its benefits, it was thought that it would increase the value of the collection, without impair ing its unity, to include some other performances of Dr. Appleton upon similar occasions. AS a legacy either of affection or nu struction, it will probably not be rendered less acceptable, nor be deemed as requiring any apology, for being enriched with the Address delivered upon his inauguration, and what is termed the Introductory Lecture, illustrating the dangers and securities of collegial life. This lecture was originally prefixed to his regular theological course. To these is added the letter to the stu dents written from Amherst at the commencement of his last ill ness, explaining his absence and enforcing upon their attention the practical observance of several important precepts. If the interest of this communication is capable of being increased by any circumstance, it would be that of its being the last ever addressed to them by him-and with particular propriety there fore closes the present volume.
