Formerly attributed to Benjamin Franklin or his son William, this was probably mostly composed by Richard Jackson. Richard Jackson (d. 1787), London barrister, was called, because of his wide knowledge, 'the Omniscient Jackson.' He was agent for Connecticut, 1760-71; for Pennsylvania, 1763-70; and for Massachusetts, 1765-67; counsel to the Board of Trade, 1770, and M.P., 1762-84. He and Franklin assisted each other in preparing important pamphlets on colonial affairs. Through this review an argument is made asserting the primacy of the Provincial Assembly over the Proprietors. Sabin 25605 (citing the 1818 Philadelphia edition); Howes P204; Ford 253. EVANS2
