...books, we refrained from making any attack upon him, even when he had the effrontery to put Harvard College on the title-page of his books. But now that he has invited criticism by coming forward as the sole editor of an alleged Harvard paper, we feel that we owe it to those of our readers who may be unacquainted with his position in college to expose him in his true colors.
