Lectures to the Young (Classic Reprint)FB&C Limited, 2015 M07 19 - 310 pages Excerpt from Lectures to the Young So pleasant and useful was the impres sion made on their minds by this exercise, that it was regularly repeated for several weeks; Mr. May was encouraged by the success of this effort to extend his labours, and in the course of the four fol lowing years his lectures were attended by upwards of three thousand children. In December, 1810, he embarked for India, by way of the United States, and arrived at Philadelphia in March, 1811. He addressed large assemblies of children on two or three occasions, and re-embarked in May, but meeting a heavy gale of wind, which occasioned damage to the ship, he returned to Philadelphia to await a more favourable opportunity for a voyage to India.
