GEORGE LOGAN, b. at Stenton Sep. 9, 1753, son of William Logan the Councillor, was the last Pennsylvania Quaker who attained emi- nence in public life, and perhaps the only strict member of the So- ciety of Friends who ever sat in the United States Senate. As a boy, he was sent to school in Worcester, England. Intended for a mer- cantile career, like the rest of the family, he was placed in the counting- house of John Reynolds in Philadelphia ; but afterwards he deter- mined to study medicine, and went to Edinburgh. There he gradu- ated in 1779, his thesis being " De Venenis." He then crossed to the Continent, and proceeded to Paris, where he remained some time, receiving much politeness from Dr. Franklin, in whose company he doubtless imbibed democratic principles, which we can not say found any place in his grandfather. He returned to America in the Fall of 1780. He found Stenton plantation so nearly laid waste by the Revolutionary war as to require his undivided attention. He was obliged to forego a professional career ; he bought his brother's and sister's shares, and, retiring to the country, devoted himself to agri- culture. He became a member of the American Philosophical Society, publishing in 1797 Experiments in Gypsum and a paper on the Rota- tion of Crops. He was chosen a member of the Penna. Assembly in 1785, and re-elected the next three years. He was an intimate friend of Thomas Jefferson and his political disciple. Espousing the princi- ples of the Democratic, as distinguished from the Federal, party, his name was placed upon its ticket for members of the State Legislature in 1795, and he was again elected to that body. He was re-elected the following year. In June, 1798, he undertook on his own responsi- bility a voyage to France to endeavor to prevent war between that republic and our own. Disembarking at Hamburgh, he met with Lafayette, who enabled him to make his way to Paris, where he arrived August 7th. Upon inquiry of the U. S. Consul-General, he was in- formed that the Commissioners sent out by President Adams had left without accomplishing the object of their visit, and all negotiation was at an end; further, an embargo had been laid on all American ship- ping in the ports, and many of our seamen were confined as prisoners. He presented to Tallyrand a letter of introduction from Jefferson ; but obtained no satisfaction from that wily diplomat. Through the kind- ness of M. Schimmelpennick, the Swiss Minister to France (see Sketch of Deborah Logan in " Worthy Women of our First Century "), Dr. Logan was introduced to Citizen Merlin, one of the Directory, whom he visited frequently on the footing of private friendship. In conver-

sation, Merlin assured him that France would not disgrace her own Revolution by attempting to destroy the United States. As to the violation of our flag, it was simply that France might avail herself of the resources of neutrals, as England had been allowed to do : but it was contemplated to make the laws more favorable to neutrals. Logan's endeavors preserved the property of several persons from confiscation, and procured freedom for a considerable number of seamen. Finally, the embargo was removed. Wood, in his History of Adams's Ad- ministration, says that when Dr. Logan returned to the United States bearing despatches from the Consul-General giving the good news to the Secretary of State, instead of being cordially received, he found that duplicate despatches had been conveyed by other hands, and was informed that those which he brought were of no importance. The friends of President Adams even whispered "treason." Dr. Logan was re-elected to the Pennsylvania Legislature that year. At the meeting of Congress in December, " the whole Federal faction broke loose upon him," and in 1799, a law was passed, known as the "Lo- gan Act," forbidding any private citizen to take part in diplomacy, or attempt to treat with foreign nations. George Logan became United States Senator in December, 1801, being appointed to fill the va- cancy caused by the resignation of Peter Muhlenberg. He served out the term, which expired March, 1807. In 1810, Logan again went abroad on an errand of peace. The troubles between Great Britain and his country were fast bringing on war. The act of 1799 was still on the statute-books; but it was the Quaker's duty to leave nothing untried to avert the shedding of blood. He endeavored to show English statesmen the reasonableness of the American theory of sailors' rights : but his efforts were unavailing; and the war of 1812 followed, to desolate America, and to add nothing to the power or prestige of England. He d. at Stenton Apr. 9, 1821. He m. Sep. 6, 1781 Deborah, dau. of Charles Norris (see Norris). She d. at Stenton 2, 2, 1839.
