Academy, November 12. Philosophical Exercises.
1. On Education in General
Deliver'd by Francis Hopkinson
. . . [1 1/2 column essay including the following two
excerpts of poetry:]
A thin despairing number, all subdu'd,
The slave of slaves, by superstition foul'd,
By vice unmann'd, and a licentious rule;
. . . [3 more lines, credited to Thomson]
. . . For, as the above quoted poet justly observes,
Tis wise to suffer the desponding race,
Of occupation void, as void of hope,
And long deprived of every nobler joy.
. . . [3 more lines]
