Excerpt from Anniversary Oration: Delivered in the Representative Hall, on the 9th of December, 1835 The objects of human knowledge are commonly divided into physical, or natural, and moral science; and though the boundaries of these are not in every instance exactly defined, yet the division is sufficiently accurate for our present purpose.
