(North Adams, Mass.: A. H. Wells, 1834). First edition.. Some light dust-soiling and wear; a very good copy.. Removed pamphlet (no wrappers), 7.88 x 4.75 inches, 26 pages. Partially unopened. From the president and savior of Williams College, a nice North Adams imprint; the rigor of his theology influenced his tenure of the school, which became known in his tenure as seat of revivalism and something of a last-ditch educational option: "According to the Rev. Dr. Prime, a prominent graduate of the class of 1829, the reputation of the institution as the seat of a vigorous revivalism had unexpected consequences. 'At that time,' he said, speaking of conditions in 1826, 'there were in the lower classes of the college some of the wickedest youth I ever knew. . . . Parents who had profligate sons sent them here that they might come under the power of divine grace.' . . . The vicious young men, sent to Williamstown as a promising reformatory, found themselves in a community where religious services abounded." See Leverett Wilson Spring, A History of Williams College.
