Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Benjamin Franklin Benton might possibly have been included upon his own merits. But if there were any doubt upon this point, or if including him would seem to have rendered it proper to include others equally eminent and yet omitted, the reply is that Benton serves the important purpose of giving the best available opportunity to sketch the character of the Southwest, and the political feeling and develop ment in that section of the country.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Benjamin Franklin We have been brought to realize, as could have been done in no other way, the richness and picturesqueness and dramatic interest of the history which America has already created. It seems fortunate indeed, on the threshold of a new Century of National life, when we are confronted with many grave problems, widely different from, but no less momentous than, those which have thus far taxed the energies of the Nation, that pause should be given to our eager steps, and that our closest attention should be drawn to the character, the methods, and the deeds of those great men, the founders of our Government, to whom we and the whole world owe so weighty a debt of gratitude. We are met here, in this famous old city, to celebrate such an incident, of striking historic interest not only on account of its date, but of the principles it illustrated, and of the men whose names are inseparably connected with it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Benjamin Franklin Franklin's mind drained a large surface. He was one of the most versatile of men. He left not one of his many talents uncultivated; and while the aristocratic world and the arena of statecraft shouted his praise, the serener sphere of scholarship and science extended to him its amplest recognition. He who had never been to college received the honorary degree of doc tor of laws from St. Andrews, Edinburgh, and Oxford, and the honorary master of arts from Harvard, Yale, and William and Mary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Benjamin Franklin There is an irresistible appeal to both young and Old in the figure of Benjamin Franklin. Whether we view him as the printer's appren tice in Boston, slipping his own contributions under the door sill, so that his brother might be fooled into publishing them; or the run away lad reaching Philadelphia by hook or crook, and walking down the main street eat ing a roll of bread, with another tucked under each arm, while his future wife laughed at him from a neighboring doorway; or the man of affairs busied with many things for the ad vancement of his adopted town; or the simply dressed American'st'anding unabashed before Lords and crowned heads, not afraid to tell them the truth; or as one of the drafters of the Declaration of Independence; or as an ama teur scientist dabbling with electricity - in these and many another situations he seems like a personal 'friend. His face and form have not been obscured by the cobwebs of history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The True Benjamin Franklin Classic Reprint written by Sydney George Fisher and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-12 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The True Benjamin Franklin This analysis of the life and character of Franklin has in view a similar object to that of the volume entitled The True George Washington, which was prepared for the publishers by Mr. Paul Leicester Ford and issued a year or two ago. Washington sadly needed to be humanized, to be rescued from the myth-making process which had been destroying all that was lovable in his character and turning him into a mere bundle of abstract qualities which it was piously supposed would be wholesome examples for the American people. This assumption that our people are children who must not be told the eternal truths of human nature, but deceived into goodness by wooden heroes and lay figures, seems, fortunately, to be passing away, and in a few years it will be a strange phase to look back upon.

This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pictorial Life of Benjamin Franklin The life of Franklin, here presented, has been written with three leading objects: to bring forward important passages in his life, not usually introduced in abridgements, to give the juvenile reader the benefit of his good example, and to connect, as cause and effect, the errors in his life, which Frank lin himself ingenuously acknowledges, with the con sequences of those errors. We have not presented him as a perfect model for imitation, for such a model is to be found in no human being. Free use has been made of the autobiography left by himself, and of the continuation of his life by Sparks, Stuber, and others. It is believed, that while much that is interesting has been necessarily omitted for want of space, this little work contains the most essential facts in his life, and is the most complete abridged biography of Benjamin Franklin that has ever been published.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Benjamin Franklin And here let me with all humility acknowledge that to Divine Providence I am indebted for the felicity I have hitherto enjoyed. It is that Power alone which has furnished me with the means I have employed, and that has crowned them with success. My faith in this respect leads me to hope, though I cannot count upon it, that the Divine goodness will still be exercised towards me, either by prolonging the duration of my happiness to the close of life, or by giving me fortitude to support any melancholy reverse which may happen to me as to so many others. My future fortune is unknown but to Him in whose hand is our destiny, and who can make our very afflictions subservient to our benefit.

Download or read book The Life of Benjamin Franklin Classic Reprint written by Orville Luther Holley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Benjamin Franklin Franklin's own narrative of his life extends only to the 27th of July, 1757, the day on which he reached London, on his first mission as agent of Pennsylvania to the British court. He was then but little more than fifty-one years of age, so that nearly thirty-three years, em bracing the most conspicuous portion of his career, was left, with the exception of occasional passages in his private correspondence, un touched by his own graphic pen; and though that sequel has been ably related by Dr. Sparks, yet the two performances, valuable as they are universally acknowledged to be, are both strictly narrative, embra cing little but the recital of external occurrences. Well done, there fore, as they are, still much of the most important portion of Franklin's actual life - that inner life which is made up of thoughts and feelings -the unseen workings of the mind, the exercise of the affections, the development of character, and the progress of opinion - is either left out of the narration, or is so briefly noticed, that, without access to his correspondence as well as his more elaborate productions, but scanty means are supplied for making up a full and just estimate of the whole man, the Wide range of his philosophical inquiries, or of his accumula tions of various knowledge, or of the number and value of his political writings, or of the vast amount of public business be transacted, or of the great extent and importance of his services to his country.
