Présentation de l'éditeur

Lectures were delivered without notes, and have all the faults which belong to extempore speech. They make no pretensions whatever to any merit of diction or style; and I hope my critics will weigh my Book, not in the scale of Rhetoric or Logic, but rather in that scale which decides the value of its advice and admonitions. I have spoken out of my great love for and my sympathy with young men; and if I have said any thing to stir a single soul to a good resolution, I am amply repaid. Let me tell a story. A young man of great promise was sitting directly in front of me during the delivery of the first Lecture, on Snares. As I described the progress of a soul on the wrong track, I noticed that he grew very uneasy.
