Excerpt from The Freedom of the Mind
The Lyceum, is a hall of patriotism for the union, and improvement; for the influence and increase of such freemen, which will do more for the cause of civil liberty, than the caucusses of party politics, For if its plans are carried into execution, if its designs prevail, it will produce a community, which the sophistry of party zeal will not long assail, because it cannot 'with its fickle light be forever exciting and misguid ing them: over which ignorance and baseness would not dare to rule, even if such a people would construct a ladder for their ascent to the heights of oflice.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that we need to demand of our own hearts that we use our opportunities to read well and plan our reading.
