Excerpt from National Characteristics: An Address Delivered Before the Literary Societies of Hamilton College, July 24, 1848 But it is not needful to go to the antipodes for subjects affording abundant Scope for the most protracted and profound research. The nations of Europe and the people of our own country, linked by every tie that can bind nations together, and exerting a great and rapidly increasmg Influence upon each other, and, by consequence, upon the individuals of each, constitute the most inter esting and instructive subjects Of our proper study. In the remarks I propose making upon this theme, I Shall not attempt an elaborate exposition of the characteristic traitsof the nations alluded to. Neither my time nor your patience would permit such an examination, even were I capaple, by observation, reading and reflection to undertake it. I propose, instead, to invite your attention only to some of the peculiar and salient traits which characterize a few of the leading nations, and have contributed to their greatness, their decadence and their fall, or which still con tinue to exercise a controlling influence over their destiny.
