William Stephens was Secretary of the Province of Georgia from 1737
to 1750 and was President from 1741 for ten years. He was sent to
America by the Trustees of Georgia, who resided in London, to keep
them informed on conditions in the colony. Besides writing numerous
letters to the Trustees, Stephens kept a journal which he sent to
them periodically. The journal down to 1741 was printed by the
Trustees. Here in this volume (and the volume for 1741-1743) the
continuation of the journal is published for the first time.
Through his journal Stephens undertook to inform the Trustees of
everything which happened in Georgia, from the most trivial to the
most important. This close-up view of Georgia, the details of the
everyday life of the people, and the record of significant
development in the colony all make his journal a valuable document
in American colonial history.
