A True Account Of The Present State Of Trinity College In Cambridge,: Under The Oppressive Government Of Their Master Richard Bentley, Late by Conyers Middleton is a polemical historical pamphlet that documents Middleton's portrayal of Bentley's governance at Trinity College, Cambridge. It depicts an autocratic master who dominates college offices, alters statutes, mismanages funds, and pursues personal advantage at the expense of scholars. Middleton recounts contentious elections, the removal and punishment of fellows, extravagant building projects, and attempts to influence rents, leases, and college revenue to Bentley's own benefit. The work argues for accountability and reform, urging ecclesiastical and royal authorities to intervene and to restore integrity to the college. Across testimonies and anecdotes, Middleton portrays a collegial body under siege, calling for justice and the upholding of moral and educational standards in one of England's venerable institutions.
