Excerpt from Addresses on the Duties, Dangers, and Securities of Youth: With an Introductory Essay by the Honourable Theodore Frelinghuysen, Esq. The following pages are addressed to the most interesting department of society. The youth of our country compose that portion of our people, to which the patriot and the Christian look, with like concern, for the fulfilment of their best hopes. Whatever there may be of promise, or of alarm, in the present posture of our affairs, the responsibility for the issue, rests with the youth of this generation. In a government founded on the public will - where the voice of the people can build up or pull down at pleasure, it is a truth of plain and fearful import, that this will must be under the regulation and control of sound and enlightened principles, or virtue will, very soon, have no defence, and vice, no check. In no age of the world has there been greater need of high moral and intellectual culture. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
