An Address: Delivered Before the Intellectual Societies of Hamilton College, July 22, 1846, Clinton, N. Y (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Mind grows best when it works from within, not when it is forced from the outside.
This address argues for a natural, self-directed path to intellectual maturity, warning against quick fixes and hollow tricks in teaching. It invites readers to see education as a personal journey where liberty and discipline shape a balanced mind.
In clear terms, the speaker explains that true development comes from the inner energy of the learner. External methods, novelty schemes, and superficial rules can harm more than help. He warns that minds trained by rote or by artificial conditions fail to meet real demands, and that growth should be a voluntary, purposeful process.- Understand why deliberate self-discipline and balanced cultivation matter more than flashy techniques.
- See how overemphasizing a single faculty can distort the whole mind.
- Learn how personal responsibility shapes intellect and character.
- Explore a long‑view view of education that values depth over speed and external show.

An Address (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book illuminates intellectual growth in the human mind through the lens of analogies drawn from plant mechanics, asserting that the mind, like a plant, grows from an inner force in a process influenced by external stimuli. This inward vitality fashions the mind's form, while liberty over its own development makes the mind responsible for its maturation. The author posits that spontaneity in mental growth necessitates self-discipline, symmetrical development, and an embrace of personal accountability for achieving maturity. The book's examination of this process and its maxims serve as guidelines, especially for the young, to help them recognize their responsibility to maximize their mental faculties and use them to shape a more enlightened future. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
