Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume in the venerable Papers of Benjamin Franklin covers March 16 through September 12, 1785, Franklin’s final days as minister to France and his voyage home This volume covers Franklin’s final months as minister to France and his voyage back to America. He received his long-awaited permission from Congress to return home; accepted the king’s parting gift of a miniature portrait surrounded by diamonds; settled his accounts; and arranged passage for himself and his two grandsons on a ship bound from England to Philadelphia. Franklin instructed the French government on the culinary uses of maize and wrote a lengthy “eye-witness” account of China that includes directions for making tofu. His last public act in France was signing the Prussian-American Treaty of Commerce, which contained three unprecedented articles: the two he wrote in 1782 guaranteeing protections during wartime for noncombatants, and a third guaranteeing humane treatment for prisoners of war. On the English coast, Franklin met with his Loyalist son William and witnessed William’s signing over his American property to his son William Temple Franklin. Aboard the London Packet, Franklin wrote three scientific papers, including the copiously illustrated “Maritime Observations.” His original line drawings are reproduced here for the first time. The volume ends with an appendix containing supplementary documents from the French mission.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Calendar of the Papers of Franklin Pierce: Prepared From the Original Manuscripts in the Library of Congress The papers herein calendared were obtained from the Hon. Kirk D. Pierce, of Hillsboro, New Hampshire, in 1905. They are that portion of the papers of President Franklin Pierce that survived destruction by fire many years ago and, with the exception of scattered docu ments in other hands, form the only collection of Franklin Pierce papers now in existence. While few in number they are rich in politi cal information and contain much of historical value especially con cerning the inside workings of the Democratic Party in New Hamp shire and other States. The tension of the period preceding the Civil War and the efforts of the peace advocates are shown in the correspondence; but the greatest value of the papers is biographical. The picture they present of Franklin Pierce the man is a picture worthy of place in the gallery of our Presidents. The preliminary work and general carding of these papers was done by Mr. Wilmer Ross Leech, now in the Manuscript Department of the New York Public Library; the Calendar was completed, revised, edited, and indexed by Mr. John C. Fitzpatrick, First Assistant in the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Papers of Benjamin Franklin January 6 1706 Through December 31 1734 written by Benjamin Franklin and published by . This book was released on 1959-09 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first volume to come from a great scholarly undertaking, the assembly and editing of Benjamin Franklin's complete writings and correspondence. Sponsored jointly by the American Philosophical Society and Yale University, this new edition of forty volumes will contain everything that Franklin wrote that can be found and, for the first time, in full or abstract, all letters addressed to him, the whole arranged in chronological order. To be published over a period of fifteen years, it will supersede all previous editions, for thousands of letters by Franklin have been located since Smyth's edition fifty years ago. This first volume, for example, contains more than triple the amount of material in the Smyth edition for this period of Franklin's life, from his birth on January 17, 1706 to the end of 1734. This is a period reflecting the young Franklin of Boston and Philadelphia as a man of letters--essayist, journalist, pamphleteer--and as a rising young printer. here are the literary pieces he wrote and printed in the New-England Courant, the American Weekly Mercury, or the Pennsylvania Gazette, or as separately printed pamphlets. Here are the first issues of Poor Richard's Almanack. Here is his famous Epitaph and his ritual for private worship, "Articles of Belief and Acts of Religion," together with legal and business papers connected with his printing business. Also included is a genealogy, the fullest ever compiled, of Franklin's complicated family, with chronology of Franklin's first twenty-nine years. Each volume will have its own index, with a cumulative index at the end. As a large proportion of Franklin's literary production has never been reprinted since it first appeared in the 1720s and 1730s, this volume should add usefully to the available body of early American materials. Especially significant to collectors will be the reproduction in photographic facsimile, for the first time, of the entire twenty-four pages of the "first impression" of the first Poor Richard, that for 1733, from the unique copy in the Rosenbach Foundation.
