This book by Mr. Tucker, addresses a vast audience to consider an enterprise of transcendent importance, one which will ultimately mold and create the institutions of government, direct financial operations, harness the untamed forces of nature, and foster the very material interests we hold dear. We are here, Tucker announces, to establish an instrument, a power, and give life to an organism destined to perfect and create the institutions of government, business, and the arts. Those who have gathered to witness this occasion, including the venerable, the thoughtful parent, women, and the young, all are here to witness the impressive demonstrations of today's affair. This work is paramount, more critical than any mere worldly interest in the business pursuits of life. Its realization will be achieved through methods that are quiet, gentle, and gradual in time. The author illustrates this elegantly by referencing a passage of sacred history, where the divine presence was symbolized in one of several phenomena of nature. He points out that the mighty agencies here brought into operation, manifest themselves not through the medium of the earthquake, whirlwind, or fiery flame, but in the tones of the still, small voice that teaches truths of wisdom, reveals wonders of science, and exhibits the wondrous order and harmony of nature's laws. Within these pages, the author examines the study of words, showing that their history reveals the history of a people; that the study of language properly instructs us in the philosophy of words, and that this philosophy teaches us how to draw from this inexhaustible repository of beauty, truth, and knowledge the words we need for our varied human purposes. The author goes on to describe the importance of the study of astronomy and the applications of the science of mathematics, both to useful works in practical life and to operations of the intellect in the regions of the actual and the possible. He concludes by examining the anatomy of mind and the philosophy of our moral nature, reminding us that duty, as determined by fixed laws, guides our actions and that these principles, investigated and applied to our moral nature, reveal a wonderful chain of sequences that runs through all our moral relations. This book is a must-have for anyone interested in learning about the importance of science, language, and reason in shaping our world.
