1. It Is The Duty, And Ought To Be The Pleasure, Of Age And Experience
To Warn And Instruct Youth And To Come To The Aid Of Inexperience. When
Sailors Have Discovered Rocks Or Breakers, And Have Had The Good Luck To
Escape With Life From Amidst Them, They, Unless They Be Pirates Or
Barbarians As Well As Sailors, Point Out The Spots For The Placing Of
Buoys And Of Lights, In Order That Others May Not Be Exposed To The
Danger Which They Have So Narrowly Escaped. What Man Of Common Humanity,
Having, By Good Luck, Missed Being Engulfed In a Quagmire Or Quicksand,
Will Withhold From His Neighbours A Knowledge Of The Peril Without Which
The Dangerous Spots Are Not To Be Approached?
2. The Great Effect Which Correct Opinions And Sound Principles, Imbibed
In Early Life, Together With The Good Conduct, At That Age, Which Must
Naturally Result From Such Opinions And Principles; The Great Effect
Which These Have On The Whole Course Of Our Lives Is, And Must Be, Well
Known To Every Man Of Common Observation.
