The Autobiography Of Benjamin Franklin

The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin is a memoir written by Benjamin Franklin, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States.

Part two focuses on his journey to Philadelphia and his rise as a successful printer and businessman. Part three delves into his involvement in public service, including his role in the American Revolution and his diplomatic missions to France. Finally, part four covers his retirement and reflections on his life.Throughout the book, Franklin shares his personal beliefs and values, including his dedication to hard work, education, and civic duty. He also shares anecdotes and insights into the people and events that shaped his life and the early years of the United States.Overall, The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin is a fascinating and insightful read that provides a unique perspective on the life and times of one of America's most influential figures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
