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.

Book excerpt: The Life of Benjamin Franklin Vol. 2 is an account of the life and times of Benjamin Franklin written by none other than Franklin himself. Considered to be one of the founding fathers of America, Franklin was also a leading author, a politician, a political theorist, a printer, an inventor, a scientist, a statesman, and a diplomat. Perhaps one of the most famous Americans, known around the world, Franklin's life story in his own words makes for an interesting read for any individual intrigued by this man or the humble beginnings of America. The second volume in his two volume set begins half-way through Franklin's life, at the point when the Wilkes Riots were occurring (1768) and Franklin was named President of the American Philosophical society. The rest of the volume continues through pivotal events to the end of Franklin's exciting and informative life. The events discussed are both those that Franklin experiences personally (such as his sixty-seventh birthday) and world events upon which Franklin feels qualified to offer his educated opinion. Each of the topics explored give the reader a glimpse into both Franklin's life and also the world stage that would lead to the American Revolution and the birth of a nation. The book, The Life of Benjamin Franklin Vol. 2 is a wonderful read for anyone interested in Benjamin Franklin and his life through his own words. This text is also an amazing resource for individuals interested in early American politics and history along with world history and events that surround the American Revolution. This book is an engaging read and an interesting exploration of life prior to the American Revolution and the politics that went into creating an independent nation that would rival other countries as a world power during its long history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lessons From the Life of Benjamin Franklin: 1706-1790 While thinking last summer how I might use fully employ some leisure hours, it occurred to me to prepare the following compilation for the benefit of the young people of Buffalo, having in View especially those who have lately graduated, or who are about to graduate from our public and other schools. It may also be interesting and not un profitable reading to older persons who are not familiar with the details of Benjamin Franklin's business career. It is for the most part an abridgment, consisting of those portions of Franklin's autobiography which may be useful for instruction and example in the conduct of business and life, and excluding many genealogical and other details and various episodes which are comparatively uninteresting, are not within the purpose of the volume, and would enhance its cost. 'these considerations afford, I think, a sufficient answer to the objections usually and sometimes properly made to abridgments.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from True to His Home: A Tale of the Boyhood of Franklin It may please the reader to know that Mr. Calamity was suggested by a. Real character, and that the incidents in the life of Jenny, Franklin's favorite sister, are true in spirit and largely in detail. It would have been more artistic to have had Franklin discover Uncle Benjamin's pamphlets later in life, but this would have been, while allowable, un historic fiction. Says one of the greatest critics ever born in America, in speaking of the humble birth of Franklin: That little baby, humbly cradled, has turned out to be the greatest man that America ever bore in her bosom or set eyes upon. Beyond all question, as I think, Benjamin Franklin had the largest mind that has shone on this side of the sea, widest in its comprehension, most deep - looking, thoughtful, far-seeing, the most original and creative child of the New World.
