A propos du livre

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.
