Synopsis

This book examines the efforts by anonymous authors in newspapers and a memorial to create prejudicial public opinion against Mr. Leflie's character and principles to influence individuals who are, in a few days, to serve as judges on a question in which his reputation and interests are deeply involved. The author, having been chosen to represent the University of Edinburgh in the General Assembly, has felt it their duty to correct the misrepresentations on this subject which have already remained unnoticed for too long. The author has also introduced various original documents and critical remarks calculated to remove the unfavorable impressions which the aforementioned papers have produced.
