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.

几大开国元勋中对此人感觉一般,但杰弗逊等的美国文库早已脱销,先买着看看,其实大多篇目平装本都出过。

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》。
