The Well-Instructed Scribe or Reform and Conservatism: A Sermon Preached at the Installation of George F. Simmons, and Samuel Ripley (1841)

The Well-Instructed Scribe Or Reform And Conservatism: A Sermon Preached At The Installation Of George F. Simmons, And Samuel Ripley (1841) is a book written by James Freeman Clarke. It is a sermon that was delivered at the installation of two individuals, George F. Simmons and Samuel Ripley, in 1841. The book explores the themes of reform and conservatism, and their relationship to each other. Clarke argues that both reform and conservatism are necessary for society to progress and improve, but that they must be balanced and work together in order to be effective. The title of the book comes from a biblical reference to a ""well-instructed scribe"" who is able to bring out both old and new treasures. The book is a reflection on the challenges of balancing tradition and progress in a changing world, and offers insights into how to navigate these challenges.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
