"To do something to instruct, but more to undeceive, the timid and admiring student;..
to excite him to place more confidence in his own strength dless in the infallibility
of great names; to help him to emancipate his judgment fro the shackles of authority;
---to teach him to distinguish between shewy language and sound sense;---to warn him
not to pay himself with words;---to shew him, that what may tickle the ear or dazzle
the imagination, will not always inform the judgment;--to dispose him rather to fast on
ignorance than to feed himself with error."
