- catalog abstract "This humorous work, published by William Austin when he was a senior at Harvard College in 1798, addresses what Austin saw as the misguided attempts of the "government" of Harvard to control the student body and to inspire productive scholarship. He bemoans the restraints on students' lives imposed by what he sees as unnecessary and restrictive laws and asserts that Harvard "is the death-bed of genius." Austin refers directly to Jean-Jacques Rousseau on numerous occasions, and the ideas he presents are clearly informed by Rousseau's Emile.".

- catalog description "William Austin was born to Margaret (Rand) Austin and Nathaniel Austin in Lunenburg, Massachusetts on March 2, 1778. His parents had fled their home in Charlestown, Massachusetts in 1775, following that town's burning during the Battle of Bunker Hill; they returned to Charlestown several years after William's birth. William was the third of six children, and he attended Rev. John Shaw's school in Haverford before entering Harvard College. He received an A.B. from Harvard in 1798. Following graduation he worked for several years as schoolmaster and chaplain on the United States frigate, Constitution, to earn sufficient funds for his law studies at Lincoln's Inn, London. He studied in London from 1802 to 1803, also publishing a book called Letters from London during that time. Austin returned to Charlestown in 1803 and quickly established a large law practice. He was active in civic and political affairs for the rest of his life, representing Charlestown in General Court for many years and also representing Middlesex County in the Senate. He was also a delegate to the convention of 1820 for revising the Massachusetts Constitution. Although his primary focus was law, Austin published several works during his lifetime, the most well regarded being "Peter Rugg, the Missing Man," which the writer Nathaniel Hawthorne cited as influential on his own work. William Austin died on June 27, 1841.".
