The reasons for this are many: there is virtually nothing in the <i>Historical Essay</i>, in either style or content, that permit a man of Ramsay's historical and political persuasion to be author. It is known that Ramsay wrote <i>An Essay on the English Constitution</i>, published I think in 1766, and my examination of that, compared with the <i>Historical Essay</i>, allows no further doubt on that score. Alistair Smart, in his very fine biography, <i>The Life and Art of Allan Ramsay</i>, makes the same point more extensively in a long footnote, p. 141, also referring to the qualms raised earlier by Herbert Butterfield in <i>George III, Lord North, and the People</i>, p. 349n. Smart notes that Ramsay made no claim to the authorship of the <i>Historical Essay</i>, and it is understandable. I would go further than Smart's statement (''almost certainly not by Ramsay'') and insist that the <i>Historical Essay</i> positively was not by Ramsay, and as Dr. Caroline Robbins now suggests, was probably by Obadiah Hulme of Yorkshire.<P>''Dr. Robbins discovered an inscription in the <i>Historical Essay</i> in the University of Pennsylvania library, indicating that this copy belonged to Joseph Bretland, an Exeter unitarian minister, who mingled in radical circles. Bretland wrote in the book that it was written by Obadiah Hulme, relation to Nathanial Hulme, physician to the Charter House. And Dr. Robbins has since discovered that there was an Obadiah Hulme who, as Bretland suggested, died in 1791; the <i>Gentlemen's Magazine</i> of 1791 reports the death of Obadiah Hulme, author of the <i>Historical Essay.</i> Of course this could have been the same source for Bretland, and might be quite unreliable, but it is the best lead yet. Oddly no contemporary admirers of the <i>Historical Essay</i>, be they Jefferson, Adams or Cartwright, had any idea of the identity of the author.''"

Lord Dunmore, the colonial Governor, sent John Gibson to obtain Logan's presence at the making of the treaty, and his reply was that ''morsel of eloquence'' printed in the newspapers and made famous by Jefferson in his <i>Notes on the State of Virginia.</i> John Gibson rather than Logan is now thought to have been the real author of the speech read at the conference, and it has been proved that Michael Cresap was not the leader of the Yellow Creek massacre.

During the course of the last long and bloody war, Logan remained idle in his cabin and advocate for peace. Such was my love for the whites, that my countrymen pointed as they passed and said 'Logan is the friend of white men.' I had even thought to have lived with you, but for the injuries of one man, Col. Cresap, the last spring, in cold blood, and unprovoked, murdered all the relations of Logan, not sparing even my women and children. There runs not a drop of my blood in the veins of any living creature. This called on me for revenge. I have fought it: I have killed many: I have fully glutted my vengeance.
