Oxonia Purgata is a book written by Edward Tatham in 1811. The book is an attempt to correct the errors and abuses of the University of Oxford through a series of addresses. Tatham criticizes the university for its lack of discipline and moral standards, and for its excessive focus on classical education at the expense of practical knowledge. He also highlights the corrupt practices of the university, such as the sale of degrees and the nepotism in the appointment of professors. The book is a scathing critique of the University of Oxford and its practices, and provides valuable insight into the issues facing higher education in the early 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
