man or of nature through which he passed, and which enabled 

 him to enjoy every present hour with thankfulness, and to look

The records of this Society contain the histories of greater 

 men — of none, I believe, more virtuous, more amiable, or more 

 happy ; and while the lives of these illustrious men (written by 

 men of kindred genius) will, I trust, long continue to inspire in 

 this place the spirit of philosophical ambition, I dare to hope, 

 that even the faint outline which I have now given of the 

 character of Lord Woodhouselee, may tend to cherish that moral 

 ambition which all men are called to indulge ; without which 

 learning is vain, and talents are dangerous, and to which rewards 

 of a nobler kind are assigned, than either the praise of men or 

 the splendours of literary fame.
