Excerpt from Elements of Success, 1848: An Address Delivered at the First Annual Meeting of the Alumni Association of Columbian College, Washington

Dear Sir: The Alumni Association of Columbian College unanimously request, for publication, a copy of the Address delivered by you before that body, in the presence of a large number of ladies and gentlemen, on the evening of commencement day, the 12th instant.

The members will feel a pride in being permitted to present to their Alma Mater and to their fellow citizens so rich an offering, as the first fruits of their Association.

Dear Sir: I owe you an apology for the tardiness with which I reply to your request, made in behalf of the Alumni Association of Columbian College, The simple truth is, I have not considered the Address worthy, as a literary article, of the compliment your kindness has given it. It was only commenced, with the advantage of a few hours premeditation, on the Wednesday before it was delivered; and it divided even that opportunity with the claims of clerical duty.

The good of others, however, and not his own literary reputation, should be the prevailing consideration with a christian minister. I have concluded therefore to say, that if the Committee to whom the Association have referred the matter, shall judge that the value of the lessons which the Address contains may compensate for its literary deficiency, it is at their service.
