The defence of the Rev. Reginald Bligh, of Queen's College, Cambridge, A.B. against the president and fellows of that society, who rejected him as an improper person for a fellow on the 12th of January, 1780, upon the pretence of his want of sufficient Learning to qualify him for that Station,---designed to clear him from the unjust Suspicions of his Friends, and the malevolent Insinuations and Aspersions of his Enemies; which this Event has naturally brought upon him. Mr. Bligh would not presume to address the Public on the Hardship of his Case, was he the only Person likely to suffer from the Iniquity and Injustice of his Foes. This Publication contains a most flagrant Instance of Knavery and Villainy; by which Mankind in general is injured: To expose it therefore is a subject of General Concern. And it may serve as a Warning to the Fellows of Queen's College, and as a Caution to those who might be inclined to enter into that Society with Mr. Bligh's Views and Expectations. N. B. This Defence hath been laid before the Person against whom it is principally intended, and communicated to the rest of the Fellows; and the Facts therein stated were not denied. At the earnest Desire of one of the Fellows, a Circumstance, which reflected on the Character of the President, has been expunged.
Bligh, Reginald.
