內容簡介
"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諳算術而感到羞愧,我在學校時算術曾兩次不及格,因此這時候我拿瞭考剋氏的算術書,自己從頭到尾很順利地學習瞭一遍。我也讀瞭捨勒和斯圖美關於航海的書籍,熟悉瞭這些書裏所包含的一點幾何學。除瞭這一點以外,我對幾何學從未作過更深入的研究。約在這個時候,我讀瞭洛剋的《人類悟性論》和波爾洛亞爾派的先生們所著的《思維術》。

幾大開國元勛中對此人感覺一般,但傑弗遜等的美國文庫早已脫銷,先買著看看,其實大多篇目平裝本都齣過。
