Book Description
Excerpt from Discourse on the Character and Public Services of Dewitt Clinton: Delivered Before the Association of the Alumni of Columbia College, at Their Anniversary, 6th May, 1829 Clinton received his early education at a'period ex tremely unfavourable. The long revolutionary contest had driven from their quiet occupations to take a share in active struggles, on one or the other side, nearly all who were eminent in the profession of instructers. Of the ancient academies of the state, but one was kept even upon a tolerable footing, and even this felt for a moment the devastating effects of the struggle. In this, although crippled of its means, was Clinton compelled to seek the foundation of his future usefulness. His literary produc tions may, notwithstanding, be quoted as splendid instances of the power, that genius and industry can exert in forming the taste and improving the style yet, it must be admitted that the critical eye will occasionally detect a want of those graces, that an early and accurate acquaintance with classic models can alone bestow.
