Excerpt from Annual Oration Delivered at the Commencement of the Chrestomathic Society, College of Charleston, February 27, 1874Destiny of Humanity may be regarded. This is, that man has not accomplished all of which he is capable, that we can conceive yet higher development of his capacities, that notwithstanding all the apparent stag nations and retrogressions of humanity, there has been, though a slow, yet a steady progress, and, therefore, that there is reason to expect and hope for a future, however distant, and however gradual the approach towards it, of higher attainment in Morals, Politics, Religion - ih short, of progress in all that is involved in human capacities. This proposition I shall en deavor -~with what inadequate ability no one can be so conscious as myself - to elucidate and establish. The apology for my temerity in venturing upon the subject must be found in its intrinsic interest and suitability to the present time.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
