In addition ... he published three works in defence of the trustees, and for the advancement of their designs, viz.: 'An impartial enquiry into the state and utility of the province of Georgia'; 'Reasons for establishing the colony of Georgia'; and 'An account showing the progress of the colony of Georgia ...'"--W. B. Stevens, Hist. of Georgia, 1847, v. 1, p. 260.
