Excerpt from Freedom of Teaching: A Reply to an Attack in the Boston Watchman and ReflectorOF the papers forming this little tract, the first was printed in the Watchman and Re¿ector in answer to an attack upon me by a writer in that journal, and was accompanied by long edito rial comments, to which the second paper is a reply. This sec ond paper, with the exception of the notes, and a paragraph or two, was offered to the editor and refused, on the score of its length, I had therefore no alternative but to remain silent or print it myself. Nothing but the feeling that I and the institution to which I belong had been placed in a false position would have induced me to obtrude myself and my Opinions upon the atten tion of the public. I wish simply to correct misrepresentations and misapprehensions, to assume the entire responsibility of any oversight I may have committed, if any can be fairly proved against me, and to place, if possible, the question of the proper method of historical and literary teaching upon a footing which will be acknowledged to be the right one by all fair-minded men. If I can do this, the controversy, perhaps, will not have proved an unprofitable one.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
