[Franklin paid a short visit to Germany in the summer of 1766, and at Göttingen met a number of the
professors of the University. One of them, Professor Achenwall, published in the "Hanoverian Magazine," in
the volume beginning 1767, p. 258, etc., "Some Observations on North America and the British Colonies from
verbal information of Dr. Franklin," and this article was reprinted in Frankfort and Leipsic in 1769. There is a
copy of this reprint in the Loganian Library, from which the following translation was made. There is a copy
of the Magazine in the Astor Library, New York. It is of interest as showing the impression made by Franklin
on his German auditors, although it is clear that Achenwall did not report quite correctly.--J. G. R.]
