Présentation de l'éditeur
Franklin s Ancestry. His Father. Popula tion of Massachusetts. Boston in 1680. Franklin s Home. His Father s Second Mar riage. Peter Folger. His Mother. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN came of a race of blacksmiths, who, in the town of Ecton, Eng land, during three centuries, practiced their manly trade. Doubtless his intensely practical turn of mind was largely inherited from his an cestors. In his character, the imaginative and poetical had but little play, far less than with that truly typical A merican, A braham Lincoln ;but his strong and brilliant common sense amounted almost to genius. He had, says an eminent writer, an intellect of a very high order, inventive, capacious, many-sided, re tentive, and was a man of the most uncommon common sense. Lord Brougham calls him one of the most remarkable men of our times as a politician, or of any age as a philosopher.
