A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Public, consists of two parts :the Lite of Dr. Franklin ;and a Collection of Miscellaneous Essays, the work of that A uthor. ,, It is already known to many. ttut Dr. Franklin amused himself, towards lh close, of his -life, with writing memoirs of his bivn ftistoryi These memoirs were brought down to the year 1757. Together with some other manuscripts they were left behind him at his death, and were considered as constituting a part of his posthumous property. It is a little extraordinary that, under these circumstances, interesting as they are, from the celebrity of the character of which they treat, and from the critical situation of the present times, they should so long have been with-held from the Public. A translation of thern appeared in France near two years ago, coming down to the year 173. There can be no sufficient reason, that what baa ::r: submitted to the perusal of Europe, should not be made accessible to those to whom Dr. Franklin slanguage is native.
