Excerpt from The Mission and Problem of American Society: An Address Delivered Before the Literary Societies of Centre College, June 28th, 1848
A short time before I received notice of the honor which you had conferred upon me, I accepted an invitation to address a literary socice ty in another institution, It was my wish and purpose to devote several months to the completion of aliterary undertaking, whichi had been encouraged to prosecute by favorable notices of some essays that I had published on the philosophy of social progress. That enterprisel have found myself under the necessity of postponing indefinitely. It occur red to me that a part of the speculations, of which I had sketched the outline, by making some changes in style and arrangement, might be easily divided and compressed into two discourses, each of which would be perfectly appropriate to the anniversary of a literary association. The two subjects are so connected that abrief summary of the former discourse will form a suitable introduction to the remarks which I shall offer for your consideration.
