Excerpt from Scholastic Education and Biblical Interpretation: An Inaugural Address, at the Opening of the Troy University, September 9, 1858 The author deems it due to his readers to remind them that this address was not properly an Inaugural to the Professorship which he holds, but was designed merely to fill a place (properly belonging to the President and up to a late period in the arrangements assigned to another person, ) in the general literary exercises incident to the occasion upon which it was delivered, and that its subject - the trite one of education - was prescribed by the circumstances of that occasion. In committing it to the press - at this distance of time from its delivery, in pursuance of the request of the Trustees, coupling it with the Inaugural Addresses of his associates, the author therefore presents it in the same form - hastil y executed as it then necessarily was, with only a few verbal alterations, and the addition of a few notes.
