Popular Lectures and Addresses (Classic Reprint)

We take great pleasure in presenting to the public this superb work, containing the Lectures and original Essays of Alexander Campbell, President of Bethany College and Minister of the Gospel of Christ. They have been carefully revised and prepared for the press, and now, for the first time, put in a form acceptable to all. They have been collected from his periodicals, covering a spact of nearly forty years past, and were delivered and read to large and select audiences in different parts of the United States, and have frequently been required by those who have heard them or have known any thing of his intellectual strength and ability. No man of the present age has been more frequently before the pubhc, both in his addresses, debates, and writings, than Alexander Campbell; and the impress of his mind he has left on the age, and will leave to future generations. No one can read these Lectures and Essays without being struck with the wonderful powers of reasoning he possesses, the ease with which he masters the most recondite subjects, and the boldness and originality with which he contemplates and handles them. He throws new hght upon whatever he touches; and, as he thinks profoundly and clearly, he brings within the comprehension of all the weighty matters which he discusses. He has labored zealously and successfully to redeem the world from the authority of great names to the truth of things, and from the fanciful systems of theorists to the established principles of philosophy, morality, and religion.
