[865] [The author of this tract was George Cadogan, a lieutenant in Oglethorpe’s regiment. It induced the author of the Impartial Account to print A Full Reply to Lieut. Cadogan’s Spanish Hireling, and Lieut. Mackay’s Letter concerning the Action at Moosa, London, 1743. Cf. Carter-Brown, iii. nos. 731-32; Sabin, xiii. no. 56845. Both tracts are in Harvard College library. Two other tracts pertain to this controversy: Both sides of the question: an inquiry] into a certain doubtful character [Oglethorpe] lately whitened by a C——t M——l, which passed to a second edition; and The Hireling Artifice detected, London, 1742.—Ed.

[870] [Reprinted in the Georgia Hist. Soc. Coll., ii. p. 87; cf. Barlow’s Rough List, nos. 873-74. This book, which has an appendix of documents, is assigned to Thomas Stephens in the Harvard College library catalogue.

[872] [Tyler (Amer. Lit., ii. 292), on the contrary, says of this book: “Within a volume of only one hundred and twelve pages is compressed a masterly statement of the author’s alleged grievances at the hands of Oglethorpe. The book gives a detailed and even documentary account of the rise of the colony, and its quick immersion in suffering and disaster, through Oglethorpe’s selfishness, greed, despotism, and fanatic pursuit of social chimeras.... Whatever may be the truth or the justice of this book, it is abundantly interesting, and if any one has chanced to find the prevailing rumor of Oglethorpe somewhat nauseating in its sweetness, he may here easily allay their unpleasant effect. Certainly as a polemic it is one of the most expert pieces of writing to be met with in our early literature. It never blusters or scolds. It is always cool, poised, polite, and merciless.”—Ed.]
