Note 672 — Chapter IV
Reading edition
The commanding position that Dwight occupied in the Standing Order, as well as the unenviable distinction which in the eyes of the opposition belonged to him, is certified to by the fact that he was commonly referred to as “Pope Dwight.” Cf. Beecher, Autobiography, Correspondence, etc., vol. i, p. 289. Cf. Stiles, Diary, vol. ii, p. 531.
