He says that he has based his account of Pennsylvania on an English pamphlet published a few months earlier. This pamphlet was William Smith’s “Brief state of the Province of Pennsylvania,” published in London in 1755. ; The work contains an account of the Preparations in Pennsylvania for Braddock’s expedi- tion, the trouble caused by the Quaker’s opposition, and various particulars concerning Benjamin Franklin.
