Excerpt from Addresses on Miscellaneous Subjects: I. The Profitable Employment of Hours; II. Dr. Johnson; III. Columbus; IV. Sir Walter Ralegh; V. England and Her Colonies

Four of the following Addresses were deli vered to the members of an Institution, the character and objects of which are briefly described in a prefatory note, at page 1. The last was delivered to a different audi ence, and with a different design.

In submitting them, in their present shape, to public attention, the only desire has been to promote, if possible, in other quarters, the ends contemplated in their first delivery. On this account, some topics, to which the time allotted to an oral ad dress did not allow more than a brief allu sion, have been treated at greater length and, in two or three instances, the order of others has been transposed. With these exceptions, both the substance and form of the original have been retained.
