This little booklet was published in 1845 by the founder of Knox, Reverend Gale himself.
It has some water damage, and was folded (like it was put in a back pocket and sat on) at one point in time. The odd thing is it was corrected by someone as well.
The purpose is clearly to raise money and develop a stronger base for the College. It was less than 10 years after the founding, so the College is still in its infancy and could still fail pretty easily.
Enjoy!
