内容简介
"Writing has been of Great Use to me in the Course of my Life," Benjamin Franklin said in his famous Autobiography. With characteristically calculated understatement, he attributed his enormous and varied successes to "my having learnt a little to scribble."
This collection of Franklin's works begins with letters sent from London (1757-1775) describing the events and diplomacy preceding the Revolutionary War. The volume also contains political satires, bagatelles, pamphlets, and letters written in Paris (1776-1785), where he represented the revolutionary United States at the court of Louis XVI, as well as his speeches given in the Constitutional Convention and other works written in Philadelphia (1785-1790), including his last published article, a searing satire against slavery.
Also included are the delightfully shrewd prefaces to Poor Richard's Almanack (1733-1758) and their worldly, pungent maxims that have entered our American culture. Finally, the classic Autobiography, Franklin's last word on his greatest literary creation-his own invented personality-is presented here in a new edition, completely faithful to Franklin's manuscript.
A companion volume includes the complete "Silence Dogood" series, "Busy-Body" essays, and a generous selection of his early writings, including letters to the press, satires, and pamphlets.

以前在某事上我因不谙算术而感到羞愧,我在学校时算术曾两次不及格,因此这时候我拿了考克氏的算术书,自己从头到尾很顺利地学习了一遍。我也读了舍勒和斯图美关于航海的书籍,熟悉了这些书里所包含的一点几何学。除了这一点以外,我对几何学从未作过更深入的研究。约在这个时候,我读了洛克的《人类悟性论》和波尔洛亚尔派的先生们所著的《思维术》。

我从小就爱好读书,我一直把我手上的全部零用钱都花在书上。因为我喜爱《天路历程》,所以我一开始就收集了约翰·班扬文集的单独发行的小册子。以后我把它们卖了,用这笔钱我买了柏顿的《历史文集》。这些是开本很小的由小贩们贩卖的书籍,价格便宜,全集共有四五十册,我父亲的小图书馆收藏的主要是一些有关神学论辩的书籍,其中大多数我都念了,但是既然当时业已决定我不做牧师了,正当我的求知欲那样旺盛的时候,我没有机会阅读更适当的书籍,迄今常使我感到遗憾,在那里有一本普鲁泰克的《英雄传》,我读了不少,我还认为读这本书所花的时间是非常值得的。那里也有笛福的一本名为《论计划》的书,另一本是马太博士的书,名为《论行善》。这本书可能在我思想上形成了一种对于我以后一生中的某些重大事件都有影响的倾向。
