Abstract
A sermon by Edward Hitchcock discussing different types of human character. Hitchcock uses the science of mineralogy to illustrate his topic, using terms and examples of minerals to describe the different types of characters. He lists ten different characters, claiming the entirely transparent character is best, which is to say the person who acts and thinks just as he seems to and does not hide anything or deceive in any way. Hitchcock ends the sermon with three summarizing points: first, that these examples should demonstrate the need for caution in judging someone's character, second, that his examples should demonstrate Christian sanctification, and third, how important it is to have a perfectly guileless character to be successful and useful. John 2:47 is quoted. Hitchcock has noted on the first page that the sermon was delivered at Amherst College in July 1846.
