The following elegant Eulogium on the
Press, is from the Grafton of D. Waldo Lin
coin, Esq. delivered at Boston, on the 4th
of July last.


"The press is the safeguard of public
rights. 1t is the messenger of truth, the her
aid of science, the interpreter of letters, am
anuensis of history, and the teacher of futu-
rty. Like the sun, it Eliminates the gloom
of the Gothic night, irradiates the shade OF
ignorance, and pours food of knowledge on
the world; it dilates the perceptions of man,
extends his intellectual vision, inspires his
heart with sensibility, and his mind with
thought. and endows him with past and
present omnciencc. 1t directs his way to
the Pierian mount, and discovers to faith the
radiant path by angels trod to Zion's holy
hill"
