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 Life and Times of Benjamin Franklin, Vol. 2 England had lost her colonies, though no one yet suspected it. Madness now seized both parties; only there was method in the madness of the colonists. It is not ours to relate the public events which accompanied and followed the scenes just described: such as the destruction of the tea in Boston harbor; the passage of Lord North's avenging measure, called the Boston Port Bill; the adoption of the cause of Boston as their own by the other colonies; six regiments of British troops posted in Boston; the calm protests of Washington, Lee, and Jefferson; the wild eloquence of Patrick Henry; the passage of the bill transferring political offenders to England for trial, with their train of witnesses and advocates; the torrents of petitions against these measures; the haughty rejection of these petitions; the tumults in America; the exasperating insolence of the king's speeches to Parliament; and, above all, the meeting of the Continental Congress at Philadelphia. All these things have been eloquently told by Mr. Bancroft, and are familiar to decently informed persons in every land. America became the universal topic, France appearing to be more interested in it than England, though there were in Parliament fifty "field-night" debates upon America during the next three or four years.

This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of Benjamin Franklin, Vol. 2 of 2 In the year 1760, upon the prospect of a peace with France, the Earl of Bath addressed a Letter to Two Great Men (mr. Pitt and the Duke of Newcastle) on the terms necessary to be insisted upon in the negotiation. He preferred the acquisition of Canada, to acquisitions in the West Indies. In the same year there appeared Remarks on the letter addressed to two great men, con taining opposite opinions on this and other subjects. At this moment a philosopher stepped into the contro versy, and wrote a pamphlet entitled, The Interest of Great Britain considered, with Regard to her Colonies, &c. The arguments he used, appear to have carried weight with them, for Canada was kept by the peace. The above piece first appeared in the shape of a pamphlet, printed for Becket, 1761.

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 Benjamin Franklin, Self-Revealed, Vol. 2 of 2: A Biographical and Critical Study Based Mainly on His Own Writings The precise explanation of the great concourse of friends that Franklin drew about him, at the different stages of his long journey through the world, is to be found partly in his robust, honorable character and mental gifts. The sterner virtues, which are necessarily the foundations of such esteem as he enjoyed, he possessed in an eminent degree. An uncommonly virile and resolute spirit animated the body, which was equal in youth to the task of swimming partly on and partly under water from near Chelsea to Blackfriars, and of exhibiting on the way all of Thevenot's motions and positions as well as some of its own, and which shortly afterwards even sported about the becalmed Berkshire in the Atlantic almost with the strength and ease of one of the numerous dolphins mentioned by Franklin in his Journal of his voyage on that ship from England to America. He hated cruelty, injustice, rapacity and arbitrary conduct. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
