Excerpt from Sermon, Delivered in the Rotunda of the University of Virginia, on Sunday, May 24, 1829: On the Occasion of the Deaths of Nine Young Men, Who Fell Victims to the Diseases Which Visited That Place During the Summer of 1828, and the Following WinterIN presenting the following discourse to the public, the author deems it proper to offer. A few words of explanation. 1: He has hitherto declined the publication of it, in opposition to the wishes and advice of many of his brethren and friends, for' reasons which seefried sufficient to himself, and which need not be mentioned. He 18 now satisfied that the publication is required in justice to himself, to correct erroneous views which have al ready been taken of it, and to prevent the increased circulation of the same. It Will become the candid reader of it to remember, that a minister of Almighty God, on whom the most solemn vows were laid, at all times to deal faithfully with his fellow men, and 'not'to do the work of God deceitfltlly, ' was specially invited by the Officers of an interesting and important public institution, to deliver a discourse on the occasion of two most afilictive dispen satioiis of Providence, which had swept into untimely graves, a number of the hopeful youths confided to their care. The Invi tation itself imposed upon him the solemn duty of endeavoring, to the best of his ability and judgment, to make the most suitable improvement of which the occasion was susceptible. In order to do this he was bound, as one who must draw his arguments and. Proofs from the revealed world of God, to 'tarn to the law and to the testimony' -'for 9 any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God.' He felt bound to apply the great principles of religion, and the past dealings of Providence with man, to the particular subject before him, and thus endeavor to secure His blessing.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Established in 1819 by Thomas Jefferson, the University of Virginia was known as "The University" throughout the South for most of the nineteenth century, and today it stands as one of the premier universities in the world. This volume provides an in-depth look at the founding of the University and, in the process, develops new and important insights into Jefferson’s contributions as well as into the impact of the University on the history of higher education. The contributors depict the students who were entering higher education in the early republic--their aspirations, their juvenile and often violent confrontations with authority, and their relationships with enslaved workers at the University. Contributors then turn to the building of the University, including its unique architectural plan as an "Academical Village" and the often-hidden role of African Americans in its construction and day-to-day life. The next set of essays explore various aspects of Jefferson’s intellectual vision for the University, including his innovative scheme for medical education, his dogmatic view of the necessity of a "republican" legal education, and the detailed plans for the library by Jefferson, one of America’s preeminent bibliophiles. The book concludes by considering the changing nature of education in the early nineteenth century, in particular the new focus on research and discovery, in which Jefferson, again, played an important role. Providing a fascinating and important look at the development of one of America’s oldest and most preeminent educational institutions, this book provides yet another perspective from which to appreciate the extraordinary contributions of Jefferson in the development of the new nation.
