The Scholar And The State: And Other Orations And Addresses (1897) is a collection of speeches and lectures given by Henry Codman Potter, an American bishop of the Episcopal Church. The book includes addresses on topics such as education, social reform, and the role of the church in society. Potter was known for his progressive views and advocacy for social justice, and this book reflects his commitment to these ideals. The speeches are characterized by their eloquence and persuasive power, as Potter argues for the importance of education, the need for social reform, and the role of the church in promoting these goals. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual and social milieu of late 19th century America, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American thought and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
