Book excerpt: The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin - Benjamin Franklin - The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin is the traditional name for the unfinished record of his own life written by Benjamin Franklin from 1771 to 1790; however, Franklin himself appears to have called the work his Memoirs. Although it had a tortuous publication history after Franklin's death, this work has become one of the most famous and influential examples of an autobiography ever written. Franklin's account of his life is divided into four parts, reflecting the different periods at which he wrote them. There are actual breaks in the narrative between the first three parts, but Part Three's narrative continues into Part Four without an authorial break. - Part One of the Autobiography is addressed to Franklin's son William, at that time (1771) Royal Governor of New Jersey. While in England at the estate of the Bishop of St Asaph in Twyford, Franklin, now 65 years old, begins by saying that it may be agreeable to his son to know some of the incidents of his father's life; so with a week's uninterrupted leisure, he is beginning to write them down for William. He starts with some anecdotes of his grandfather, uncles, father and mother. - The second part begins with two letters Franklin received in the early 1780s while in Paris, encouraging him to continue the Autobiography, of which both correspondents have read Part One. (Although Franklin does not say so, there had been a breach with his son William after the writing of Part One, since the father had sided with the Revolutionaries and the son had remained loyal to the British Crown.) At Passy, a suburb of Paris, Franklin begins Part Two in 1784, giving a more detailed account of his public library plan. He then discusses his "bold and arduous Project of arriving at moral Perfection", listing thirteen virtues he wishes to perfect in himself. He creates a book with columns for each day of the week, in which he marks with black spots his offenses against each virtue. - Part Three - Beginning in August 1788 when Franklin had returned to Philadelphia, the author says he will not be able to utilize his papers as much as he had expected since many were lost in the recent Revolutionary War. He has, however, found and quotes a couple of his writings from the 1730s that survived. One is the "Substance of an intended Creed" consisting of what he then considered to be the "Essentials" of all religions. He had intended this as a basis for a projected sect but, Franklin says, did not pursue the project. In 1732, Franklin first publishes his Poor Richard's Almanac, which becomes very successful. He also continues his profitable newspaper. In 1734, a preacher named Rev. Samuel Hemphill arrives from County Tyrone Ireland; Franklin supports him and writes pamphlets on his behalf. However, someone finds out that Hemphill has been plagiarizing portions of his sermons from others, although Franklin rationalizes this by saying he would rather hear good sermons taken from others than poor sermons of the man's own composition. - Part Four - Written sometime between November 1789 and Franklin's death on April 17, 1790, this section is very brief. After Franklin and his son arrive in London, the former is counselled by Dr. Fothergill on the best way to advocate his cause on behalf of the colonies. Franklin visits Lord Grenville, president of the King's Privy Council, who asserts that the king is the legislator of the colonies. Franklin then meets the proprietaries (the switch to the plural is Franklin's, so apparently others besides Thomas Penn are involved). But the respective sides are far from any kind of agreement.

The proprietaries ask Franklin to write a summary of the colonists' complaints; when he does so, their solicitor for reasons of personal enmity delays a response. Over a year later, the proprietaries finally respond to the assembly, regarding the summary to be a "flimsy Justification of their Conduct."

B ▶ INTRODUCTORY NOTE. Benjamin Franklin was born in Milk Street, Boston, on January 6, 1706. His father, Josiah Franklin, was a tallow chandler who married twice, and of his seventeen children Benjamin was the youngest son. His schooling ended at ten, and at twelve he was bound apprentice to his brother James, a printer, who published the "New England Courant." To this journal he became a contributor, and later was for a time its nominal editor. But the brothers quarreled, and Benjamin ran away, going first to New York, and thence to Philadelphia, where he arrived in October, 1723. ▷ 소개 노트. 벤자민 프랭클린은 1706년 1월 6일 보스턴의 밀크 스트리트에서 태어났습니다. 그의 아버지인 조시아 프랭클린은 두 번 결혼한 기름진 챈들러였으며 그의 열일곱 자녀 중 막내아들이 벤자민이었습니다. 그의 학교 교육은 10살에 끝났고 12살에는 "뉴잉글랜드 쿠란트(New England Courant)"를 출판한 인쇄업자인 형 제임스의 견습생이 되었습니다. 그는 이 저널의 기고가가 되었고 나중에는 한동안 명목상 편집자였습니다. 그러나 형제들이 다투자 벤자민은 먼저 뉴욕으로, 그 다음에는 필라델피아로 도망쳐 1723년 10월에 그곳에 도착했습니다. ▶ On Denman's death he returned to his former trade, and shortly set up a printing house of his own from which he published "The Pennsylvania Gazette," to which he contributed many essays, and which he made a medium for agitating a variety of local reforms. In 1732 he began to issue his famous "Poor Richard's Almanac" for the enrichment of which he borrowed or composed those pithy utterances of worldly wisdom which are the basis of a large part of his popular reputation. In 1758, the year in which he ceased writing for the Almanac, he printed in it "Father Abraham's Sermon," now regarded as the most famous piece of literature produced in Colonial America. ▷ 덴만이 죽자 그는 이전 직업으로 돌아갔고 곧 자신의 인쇄소를 차리고 "펜실베니아 가제트(The Pennsylvania Gazette)"를 출판했으며 그곳에서 많은 에세이를 기고했으며 다양한 지역 개혁을 선동하는 매체를 만들었습니다. 1732년에 그는 그의 유명한 "가난한 리처드의 연감(Poor Richard's Almanac)"을 발행하기 시작했는데, 그의 대중적 명성의 상당 부분의 기초가 되는 세속적 지혜의 간결한 발언을 차용하거나 구성하여 풍부하게 했습니다. 1758년 연감 작성을 중단한 해에 그는 "아브라함 신부의 설교"를 인쇄했는데, 이는 현재 식민지 미국에서 생산된 가장 유명한 문학 작품으로 간주됩니다. ▶ Meantime Franklin was concerning himself more and more with public affairs. He set forth a scheme for an Academy, which was taken up later and finally developed into the University of Pennsylvania; and he founded an "American Philosophical Society" for the purpose of enabling scientific men to communicate their discoveries to one another. He himself had already begun his electrical researches, which, with other scientific inquiries, he carried on in the intervals of money-making and politics to the end of his life. In 1748 he sold his business in order to get leisure for study, having now acquired comparative wealth; and in a few years he had made discoveries that gave him a reputation with the learned throughout Europe. ▷ 그러는 동안 프랭클린은 공적인 일에 점점 더 관심을 갖게 되었습니다. 그는 나중에 채택되어 마침내 펜실베이니아 대학교로 발전한 아카데미 계획을 세웠습니다. 그리고 그는 과학자들이 그들의 발견을 서로 소통할 수 있도록 하기 위해 "미국 철학 협회(American Philosophical Society)"를 설립했습니다. 그는 이미 전기 연구를 시작했으며, 다른 과학적 탐구와 함께 돈벌이와 정치의 중간에 인생을 마감할 때까지 계속했습니다. 1748년에 그는 공부를 위한 여가를 얻기 위해 사업체를 팔았고 이제 상당한 부를 얻었습니다. 그리고 몇 년 안에 그는 유럽 전역의 학자들 사이에서 명성을 얻은 발견을 했습니다. ▶ The first five chapters of the Autobiography were composed in England in 1771, continued in 1784-5, and again in 1788, at which date he brought it down to 1757. After a most extraordinary series of adventures, the original form of the manuscript was finally printed by Mr. John Bigelow, and is here reproduced in recognition of its value as a picture of one of the most notable personalities of Colonial times, and of its acknowledged rank as one of the great autobiographies of the world. ▷ 자서전의 처음 다섯 장은 1771년에 영국에서 작성되었고 1784-5년에 계속되었으며 1788년에 다시 1757년으로 축소되었습니다. 마침내 존 비글로우(John Bigelow) 씨가 인쇄했으며 식민지 시대의 가장 주목할 만한 인물 중 한 사람의 그림으로서의 가치와 세계에서 가장 위대한 자서전 중 하나로 인정된 순위를 인정하여 여기에 재현되었습니다. -목차(Index)- ▶ 프롤로그(Prologue). 테마여행신문 TTN Korea 영어고전(English Classics) 999선을 읽어야 하는 7가지 이유 ▶ 8가지 키워드로 읽는 벤자민 프랭클린(Benjamin Franklin, 1706~1790) 01. 미국 건국의 아버지(Founding Fathers of the United States) 02. 정치인(Politician)이자 외교관(Diplomat, 1764~1788) 03. 과학자(Scientist)이자 발명가(Inventor) 04. 벤자민 프랭클린 자서전(Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, 1791) 05. 유이(唯二)한 비대통령 미국 화폐 모델 06. 벤자민 프랭클린(Benjamin Franklin)을 만나는 15곳 07. 오디오북(Audio Books)으로 듣는 벤자민 프랭클린(Benjamin Franklin) 08. 벤자민 프랭클린(Benjamin Franklin) 어록(Quotes)(100) ▶ 벤자민 프랭클린 자서전 1791(The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin by Benjamin Franklin) Introductory Note ▶ Benjamin Franklin His Autobiography 1706-1757 Part II.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin is the traditional name for the unfinished record of his own life written by Benjamin Franklin from 1771 to 1790; however, Franklin himself appears to have called the work his Memoirs. Although it had a tortuous publication history after Franklin's death, this work has become one of the most famous and influential examples of an autobiography ever written. Franklin's account of his life is divided into four parts, reflecting the different periods at which he wrote them. There are actual breaks in the narrative between the first three parts, but Part Three's narrative continues into Part Four without an authorial break (only an editorial one). Part One of the Autobiography is addressed to Franklin's son William, at that time (1771) Royal Governor of New Jersey. While in England at the estate of the Bishop of St Asaph in Twyford, Franklin, now 65 years old, begins by saying that it may be agreeable to his son to know some of the incidents of his father's life; so with a week's uninterrupted leisure, he is beginning to write them down for William. He starts with some anecdotes of his grandfather, uncles, father and mother. He deals with his childhood, his fondness for reading, and his service as an apprentice to his brother James Franklin, a Boston printer and the publisher of the New England Courant. After improving his writing skills through study of the Spectator by Joseph Addison and Sir Richard Steele, he writes an anonymous paper and slips it under the door of the printing house by night. Not knowing its author, James and his friends praise the paper and it is published in the Courant, which encourages Ben to produce more essays (the "Silence Dogood" essays) which are also published. When Ben reveals his authorship, James is angered, thinking the recognition of his papers will make Ben too vain. James and Ben have frequent disputes and Ben seeks for a way to escape from working under James. Eventually James gets in trouble with the colonial assembly, which jails him for a short time and then forbids him to continue publishing his paper. James and his friends come up with the stratagem that the Courant should hereafter be published under the name of Benjamin Franklin, although James will still actually be in control. James signs a discharge of Ben's apprenticeship papers but writes up new private indenture papers for Ben to sign which will secure Ben's service for the remainder of the agreed time. But when a fresh disagreement arises between the brothers, Ben chooses to leave James, correctly judging that James will not dare to produce the secret indenture papers. ("It was not fair in me to take this Advantage," Franklin comments, "and this I therefore reckon one of the first Errata of my life.") James does, however, make it impossible for Ben to get work anywhere else in Boston. Sneaking onto a ship without his father's or brother's knowledge, Ben heads for New York, but the printer William Bradford is unable to employ him; however, he tells Ben that his son Andrew, a Philadelphia printer, may be able to use him since one of his son's principal employees had just died. By the time Ben reaches Philadelphia, Andrew Bradford has already replaced his employee, but refers Ben to Samuel Keimer, another printer in the city, who is able to give him work. The Governor, Sir William Keith, takes notice of Franklin and offers to set him up in business for himself. On Keith's recommendation, Franklin goes to London for printing supplies, but when he arrives, he finds that Keith has not written the promised letter of recommendation for him, and that "no one who knew him had the smallest Dependence on him."

This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Printer, author, philanthropist, abolitionist, scientist, librarian, diplomat, inventor, philosopher, self-aggrandizer, and social wag, Benjamin Franklin is one of the most fascinating characters in all of American history-a quality that was not lost on the man himself, as his autobiography makes plain. Avoiding the strife of the American Revolution entirely, Franklin focuses his incisive wit on the culture and society of colonial Philadelphia, weaving a mostly true mythology of humble origins and hard work that created the concepts of "The American Dream" and "the self-made man." This edition includes letters written by Franklin as well as "Poor Richard's Almanac," a popular pamphlet that was continuously reprinted from 1732-1758. Franklin's Autobiography, originally published in French in 1791, and translated into English and published in London in 1793, is considered the great autobiography of life in colonial America.American icon BENJAMIN FRANKLIN (1706-1790), born in Massachusetts to a British immigrant father and colonial mother, published the famous "Poor Richard's Almanac," helped found the University of Pennsylvania, and was the first Postmaster General of the United States. Franklin's likeness adorns, among other things, the United States hundred-dollar bill.

Book excerpt: Photostatic reproduction of the original autograph ms. of the autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. Franklin's autobiography, written at four intervals between 1771 and 1789, much of it during his ambassadorship to France, and published posthumously, is an account of his life up to 1757, in which he espouses the use of thrift, industry and the lessons of experience to get ahead in the world. The first section, addressed "Dear Son", to his illegitimate son William, was written in 1771 while Franklin was visiting the bishop of St. Asaph at Twyford, England, and contains several family anecdotes. The second installment was written at Passy, France, in 1784, and describes Franklin's early religious questions and his search for moral perfection. The third section, added in 1788, continues the narrative of his life from 1731 to 1757, while the final section, written in 1790 just before his death, recounts Franklins experiences as London agent of the Pennsylvania Assembly.

He went to school as a child with the intent of becoming a minister, as his father, Josiah, intended. However, that idea was dropped after Franklin showed a keen interest in reading and writing. He was apprenticed to his brother, James at a young age, but after fighting with his brother he quit the job and moved to Philadelphia, where he worked for a man named Samuel Keimer. After befriending some prominent political figures, including the royal Governor, Franklin left for England, where he spent 18 months working for a printer with his friend James Ralph, with whom he later became estranged. Shortly after returning to America in 1726, Franklin formed a debating club called the Junto. Two years later, he took over The Pennsylvania Gazette from Keimer and turned it into a successful publication with tools from London. In 1730, Franklin wed his old sweetheart, Deborah Read, with whom he had two children. The first, William Franklin, was born approximately one year later; he is the man to whom the Autobiography is addressed in Part One.
