註釋Thornwell, a Presbyterian clergyman, was president of South Carolina College from 1851 to 1855. It was his hope that South Carolina College would become a university of distinction. The letter discusses various items of the curriculum, and a desire to create a resident group of scholars in South Carolina to aid the development and betterment of the state. Appelton called Thornwell "one of the ablest men that the south has ever produced, and in politics extreme southern views." He was a staunch advocate of slavery and has a prominent role in establishing the Presbyterian Church in the Confederate States of America. Library copy is inscribed on the front wrapper "To Professor M'Lean with the affectionate regards of his former young friend & pupil. Jno. L. Manning." Manning was Governor of South Carolina from 1852 to 1854 who apparently studied under Maclean while at Princeton. At the time of this pamphlet, MacLean was president of Princeton.
