Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

This book is a reassessment of the life and work of Horace Holley, the second president of Transylvania University. The author argues that Holley was a brilliant scholar and orator, whose contributions to education and philosophy have been largely overlooked. The book explores Holley's ideas on a wide range of topics, including mental philosophy, political economy, and the law of nature and nations. The author concludes by arguing that Holley's insights into these subjects are still relevant today, and that he deserves to be remembered as one of the most important American intellectuals of the 19th century.

Reseña del editor

Excerpt from Discourse on the Genius and Character of the Rev. Horace Holley, LL. D., Late President of Transylvania University: With an Appendix, Containing Copious Notes, Biographical and Illustrative

IT is due to the medical pupils of Transylvania University to state, that, from a knowledge of the splendid powers and manifold and great excellencies of the late President of that institution, they were deeply sensible of the loss which literature, science, and society had sustained in his premature death.
