Excerpt from The Orthodox Presbyterian, Theological Review, and Missionary Recorder, 1839, Vol. 2 Gentlemen, -you have now entered upon the business of this Session, many of you I trust with ardour and ambition. A most inviting field is spread out to your view, and you are required to go up and possess it. A land of rich luxuriance lies before you, in all the magnificence of its heights and the beauty of its vallies, and it is yours to occupy it without delay, expecting to reap a rich harvest. True, it is not all studded with thick beauties, or covered over with external charms. There are rugged acclivities Which you must ascend, - mountains of formidable magnitude which must be climbed, before you be able to survey a wide expanse, or take such views as are fitted to elevate the soul with sublime imaginings, or to soften it with hallowed associations. Laying aside indolence and sloth, it is your present duty to pursue with steady aim the path on which you have entered. The studies in which you engage each Session are various, and they may repel you by' their diversity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
