Excerpt from The Study of Natural History: An Address Delivered Before the Linnaean Association of Pennsylvania College, Gettysburg, Pa., At the Annual Commencement, Sept. 19th, 1849Man, in this life, stands in a very interesting two-fold relation. First, to God, the author of our being, and Secondly, to Society, of which he is a member. Each of these relations involves corresponding duties. By the first, man is placed under an obligation to make his actions conform as nearly as possible to the Divine Wil' By the second, there is imposed upon him the duty of studying the good and promoting the improvement of Society. The diligent and faithful discharge of these two classes of duty, in their various divisions, comprises the sum of moral duty as well as of Christian Ethics. To fit and prepare us for their discharge, is, or should be, the point aimed at in all Educational Systems.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
