Mass Market Paperback. Etat : Very Good. 352 pages. One of the Founding Fathers of the United States o f America, Benjamin Franklin was a true Renaissance Man: writer, publisher, scientist, inventor, diplomat and politician. In his l ong life of eighty-four years, he offered advice on attaining wea lth, organized public institutions, contributed to the birth of a nation, and negotiated with foreign powers to ensure its surviva l. Through the words of the elder statesman himself, The Autobi ography and Other Writings presents a remarkable insight into the man and his accomplishments and additional writings from Benjami n Franklin's wife and son provide a more intimate portrait of the husband and father who found himself a legend in his own time. Editorial Reviews About the Author Benjamin Franklin, statesman , philosopher, and man of letters, was born in Boston in 1706 of Protestant parents. He entered Boston Grammar School when he was eight and later attended George Brown Ell's school. When he was t welve his father apprenticed him to his half-brother James as a p rinter. James was later the publisher of the New England Courant, where Franklin's first articles, The Dogood Papers, were publish ed before he was seventeen. He went to Philadelphia in 1723 and p ursued his trade of printer. He was befriended by William Keith, Governor of Pennsylvania, who offered to help the young man get s tarted in business. Franklin left for England, where he hoped to arrange for the purchase of printing equipment. Arriving in Londo n in 1724, he was soon deserted by Keith, and again turned to pri nting for a livelihood. His privately printed Dissertation on Lib erty and Necessity, Pleasure and Pain (1725) introduced him to le ading Deists and other intellectuals in London. A year later, he returned to Philadelphia, and by 1730 he had been appointed publi c printer for Pennsylvania. In 1731 he established the first circ ulation library in the United States; in 1743-44, The American Ph ilosophical Society. In 1748 he retired from the trade of printer but continued to advise and back his partner and to draw profit from the business. Poor Richard's Almanack was his most spectacul ar success as a publisher, having gone through numerous editions and been translated in many languages. During the next thirty-fiv e years he devoted himself largely to politics and diplomacy, but still wrote and engaged in scientific ventures. He resigned as M inister to France in 1785, returned to America, and was elected P resident of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Still concerned wit h the rights of the individual, he published papers encouraging t he abolition of slavery. He died in Philadelphia in 1790.
