Early American History Note

This single page is a manuscript essay in Benjamin Franklin’s hand that attacks prominent proprietary figures in Pennsylvania’s government, especially James Logan. The document is in a standalone volume, but it was originally part of Benjamin Franklin’s papers. Not much is known about it. It may have been an essay submitted to him for publication in the Pennsylvania Gazette or, as scholars of Franklin have suspected, it could be an early, unpublished essay of Franklin’s.
