A VINDICATION OF THE OFFICIAL CONDUCT OF THE TRUSTEES OF DARTMOUTH COLLEGE, IN ANSWER TO "SKETCHES OF THE HISTORY OF DARTMOUTH COLLEGE," AND "A CANDID ANALYTICAL VIEW OF THE SKETCHES," &C.

Concord: George Hough, September 1815. Stitched and untrimmed, with original printed wrappers [front wrap tattered]. Light spotting, 104pp. Good+.

President John Wheelock's 'Sketches of the History of Dartmouth College' had given himself the better of the argument in his bitter controversy with the Trustees, which escalated into a statewide political issue and finally the landmark Dartmouth College Case. This Vindication of the Trustees says the 'Sketches' have "wantonly misrepresented" them, and that they were justified in firing Wheelock.
