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.

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 The Story of Young Benjamin Franklin A great man is like a lofty mountain - you cannot take in his true grandeur except at a great distance. From a point near Pike's Peak you cannot discern how much higher the towering mountain is than the hills around it. The same is true of Benjamin Franklin. The American Revolution developed a rare group of great men, so strong in their different ways that it was impossible at the time to distinguish the greatest. Even the first United States Congress did not appreciate Washington. Some of its members were jealous of him, and a neighbor once said: "Washington would never have been anything but a land surveyor if he had not married a wealthy widow!"

Original publication: 1793 The life of Benjamin Franklin should be of importance to every American, primarily because of the part he played in securing the independence of the United States and in establishing it as a nation. Franklin shares with Washington the honors of the Revolution, and of the events leading to the birth of the new nation. While Washington was the animating spirit of the struggle in the colonies, Franklin was its ablest champion abroad. To Franklin's cogent reasoning and keen satire, we owe the clear and forcible presentation of the American case in England and France; while to his personality and diplomacy as well as to his facile pen, we are indebted for the foreign alliance and the funds without which Washington's work must have failed. His patience, fortitude, and practical wisdom, coupled with self-sacrificing devotion to the cause of his country, are hardly less noticeable than similar qualities displayed by Washington. In fact, Franklin as a public man was much like Washington, especially in the entire disinterestedness of his public service. Franklin is also interesting to us because by his life and teachings he has done more than any other American to advance the material prosperity of his countrymen. It is said that his widely and faithfully read maxims made Philadelphia and Pennsylvania wealthy, while Poor Richard's pithy sayings, translated into many languages, have had a world-wide influence. Franklin is a good type of our American manhood. Although not the wealthiest or the most powerful, he is undoubtedly, in the versatility of his genius and achievements, the greatest of our self-made men. The simple yet graphic story in the Autobiography of his steady rise from humble boyhood in a tallow-chandler shop, by industry, economy, and perseverance in self-improvement, to eminence, is the most remarkable of all the remarkable histories of our self-made men. It is in itself a wonderful illustration of the results possible to be attained in a land of unequaled opportunity by following Franklin's maxims. This book is great for schools, teachers and students or for the casual reader, and makes a wonderful addition to any classic literary library At Pure Snow Publishing we have taken the time and care into formatting this book to make it the best possible reading experience. We specialize in publishing classic books and have been publishing books since 2014. We now have over 500 book listings available for purchase. Enjoy!
Download or read book Young Benjamin Franklin written by Nick Bunker and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2019-08-20 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new account of Franklin's early life, Pulitzer finalist Nick Bunker portrays him as a complex, driven young man who elbows his way to success. From his early career as a printer and journalist to his scientific work and his role as a founder of a new republic, Benjamin Franklin has always seemed the inevitable embodiment of American ingenuity. But in his youth he had to make his way through a harsh colonial world, where he fought many battles with his rivals, but also with his wayward emotions. Taking Franklin to the age of forty-one, when he made his first electrical discoveries, Bunker goes behind the legend to reveal the sources of his passion for knowledge. Always trying to balance virtue against ambition, Franklin emerges as a brilliant but flawed human being, made from the conflicts of an age of slavery as well as reason. With archival material from both sides of the Atlantic, we see Franklin in Boston, London, and Philadelphia as he develops his formula for greatness. A tale of science, politics, war, and religion, this is also a story about Franklin's forebears: the talented family of English craftsmen who produced America's favorite genius.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Young Benjamin Franklin; Or the Right Road Through Life: A Story to Show How Young Benjamin Learned the Principles Which Raised Him From a Printer's Boy to the First Embassador of the American Republic; A Boy's Book on a Boy's Own Subject IT was Walter Scott Who first raised his voice against the folly of writing down to the child, saying, Wisely enough, that the true object among authors for the young should be to write the child up to'the inan. As people talk broken En glish to Frenchmen, and nurses prattle the baby dialect to babies, so it was once thought that boys' books should be essentially puerile - as puerile in subject and puerile in style as the tales about Don't-care Harry (who was torn to pieces by a hungry lion merely because he would persist in declaring that he didn't care about certain things in life), and such-like tender bits of ver dure that used to grace the good old English spelling-books of some quarter of a century back.
