An Address Delivered Before the Licivyronean Society of William and Mary College, 15th May, 1847 - Richard Ivanhoe [From Old Cat Cocke - Bog

A thought-provoking speech on the nature and value of education, delivered by a respected educator and scholar at William and Mary College in Virginia. The speaker argues that education should be seen as a means of personal and social transformation, rather than a mere tool for acquiring skills or knowledge. Drawing on examples from classical antiquity, he suggests that a truly excellent education must cultivate both the intellect and the character of the student. The book is a timeless reflection on the enduring value of liberal arts education and its role in shaping the human soul.
