JOSEPH WHITE, SECRETARY OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION OF MASSACHUSETTS: Your counsel and encouragement led me to give, in my college teaching, greater prominence to studies adapted to prepare young men to perform their duties as citizens of the United States than is usually given in our Colleges. In view of that fact, and of your zeal and labors in the cause of education and government, I beg leave to inscribe to you this effort to aid my young countrymen in preparing themselves for the work before them.
