About This Item
Providence: Knowles, Anthony & Co., printers, 1856. 8vo, pp. 23, [1]; neatly rebacked; lightly chipped, text slightly toned, else very good in original printed gray wrappers. Ownership signature at the top of the upper wrapper: "Judge Merrick." Stern and heavy handed, Wayland did bring about progressive ideas for discussion in the classroom, but lack of support for his progressive views led to his offer of resignation in 1849. Discussions with the Corporation resulted in the withdrawal of his resignation. He died shortly thereafter. Bartlett, p. 58.
