Excerpt from An Oration Delivered in Person Hall, Chapel Hill: On the 27th June, 1827, the Day Previous to the Commencement, Under the Appointment of the Dialectic Society The following was the first Address ever delivered before the two Literary Societies of our University, under the stipulation between them upon this subject. The original edition, published in 1827, was a large one. It is nevertheless out of print, and the desire throughout the State to obtain copies, very general. This fact affords a very sufficient reason for its re-publication. Aside from this consideration, it is proper to say, that the exellence of the Address - admired as it is, for the purity and elegance of its style, and for the important historical matter which it affords - revered as the last tribute of the Author to literature and the public - endorsed by the complimentary notice, contained in the following latter of Chief Justice Marshall - renders it a duty, which the Society owes, not only to the public, but to herself.
