My feelings were so powerfully affected by the exhibition that I wit- nessed, that I cannot help giving them way in a few remarks upon the subject. Most sincerely do I condole with those whom accident or ignorance prevented from attending: for, a more eloquent and powerful dissuasive from gaming was surely never before delivered to a public assembly. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-10003a.xml Mon, 17 Oct 1808 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-10003b.xml I had the good fortune to attend an oration upon gaming last evening delivered by Mr. Ogilvie, at the hall in Fourth-street.

But, on Friday evening, when the subject of Gaming occupied the attention of the Lecturer, he was peculiarly interesting and impressive; his description of its fascinating power, and his representation of its direful consequences, were taken from the life; and the arguments which he employed against it were such as sophistry could not elude;—they were such as bespoke the man of sensibility, the son of genius and the friend of vir- tue. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-10003c.xml Tue, 18 Oct 1808 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-10003d.xml Mr. Poulson http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-10003d.xml Thu, 20 Oct 1808 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-10003e.xml Many of those who have attended the elegant and instructive Orations of Mr. Ogilvie, have re- gretted, that, owing to the partial illumination of the Hall, the features and countenance of the Ora- tor, were but very imperfectly discernible. Every one knows how essential it is when estimating the abilities of a publick speaker, to witness that ex- pression of soul depicted, in the countenance, without which eloquence has not half its effect. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-10003e.xml Thu, 20 Oct 1808 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-10003f.xml This evening Mr. Ogilvie, it seems, pro- poses to entertain the public with a discourse on the progress and prospects of civil society. This is a grand theme, to which I have no doubt, after hearing his previous performan- ces, his extraordinary powers will do ample justice. A subject rendered, to all enlighten- ed minds, so deeply interesting, by the events of the present period, cannot fail of fully ob- taining its due, both in reasoning and in rheto- ric, from the hand of this orator. From those who have heard the same discourse delivered in Virginia and Maryland, I am informed that he takes a clear and strong view of the effects produced on the happiness of mankind, not only by those more ancient agents, the revi- val of literature and the invention of pr... http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-10003f.xml Sat, 22 Oct 1808 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-10003g.xml Mr. Poulson, http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-10003g.xml Sat, 22 Oct 1808 12:00:00 GMT
