Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from List of the Benjamin Franklin Papers: In the Library of Congress In 1880 announcement was made in London that certain papers of Benjamin Franklin were to be sold at auction. The history of these papers was as follows: They -were bequeathed to William Temple Franklin by Dr. Franklin, and were used by him in the preparation of his edition of 'Memoirs of the life and writings of Benjamin Franklin, ' 3 vols., London, 8 vo. [1818]; they bear ample evidence of his editorial work, a large quantity of matter having been struck out; in fact, in printing his grandfather's works, he seems to have proceeded on the idea of omitting everything which reflected on the British Government. Many of the private letters and other papers are also unpublished. After the death of William Temple Franklin [in 1823] the papers were for some years in the possession of his landlord, a tailor, in London, who disposed of them, some thirty years back, to Mr. Henry Stevens, where they have since remained.- The sale was ordered by the executors of Charles Whittingham, to whom they had been pledged as security by Henry Stevens, a settlement of the Whittingham estate being necessary. The public sale was postponed and the entire collection was offered at private sale to the United States Government. The purchase was consummated in 1882. The collection contained not only manuscripts of Franklin but also many letters to him, state papers, diplomatic record books, and printed books and newspapers. At the time of the purchase a division was made, the manuscripts going to the Department of State, and the printed matter to the Library of Congress. And when the general transfer of the manuscripts was made by the Department of State to the Library of Congress, under the Executive order of March 9, 1903, the diplomatic records were retained in that Department. What is known as the -second series- was transferred, a collection bound in fourteen volumes, with a few additional pieces, such as the -Articles of Belief- and the letter to Strahan. In Senate Miscellaneous Document No. 21, 47th Congress, 1st session, was printed a list of the entire Stevens's collection of Franklin material; but that list is of little or no service to the student of history or the antiquarian. The arrangement was defective and the many errors in names and dates proved misleading. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Unfinished Life of Benjamin Franklin written by Douglas Anderson and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Benjamin Franklin wrote his posthumously published memoir—a model of the genre—in several pieces and in different temporal and physical places. Douglas Anderson’s study of this work reveals the famed inventor as a literary adept whose approach to autobiographical narrative was as innovative and radical as the inventions and political thought for which he is renowned. Franklin never completed his autobiography, choosing instead to immerse his reader in the formal and textual atmosphere of a deliberately “unfinished” life. Taking this decision on Franklin’s part as a starting point, Anderson treats the memoir as a subtle and rewarding reading lesson, independent of the famous life that it dramatizes but closely linked to the work of predecessors and successors like John Bunyan and Alexis de Tocqueville, whose books help illuminate Franklin’s complex imagination. Anderson shows that Franklin’s incomplete story exploits the disorderly and disruptive state of a lived life, as opposed to striving for the meticulous finish of standard memoirs, biographies, and histories. In presenting Franklin’s autobiography as an exemplary formal experiment in an era that its author once called the Age of Experiments, The Unfinished Life of Benjamin Franklin veers away from the familiar practices of traditional biographers, viewing history through the lens of literary imagination rather than the other way around. Anderson’s carefully considered work makes a persuasive case for revisiting this celebrated book with a keener appreciation for the subtlety and beauty of Franklin’s performance.
