Excerpt from Discourse Before the Literary Societies of Hamilton College: Clinton, July 27, 1847
I know not, how I can better perform the service to which I have been invited, than by attempting to define and illustrate the true idea of civil liberty. The nature of the occasion, the character and objects of these acade mic societies, and the respect due to the learned, the thoughtful, and the earnest, who honor the occasion with their presence, induce me to believe that an unadorned, but perhaps not entirely uninstructive disquisition on some grave theme like that which I have announced, will be at once more suitable and more acceptable than any thing else which I could offer.
