Book excerpt: Excerpt from The True Story of Benjamin Franklin, the American Statesman Statesman, philanthropist, patriot, inventor, author, printer, humorist, business-man, helper, friend, the lover of children, of humanity and the world - all these was Benjamin Franklin, most remarkable of Americans. As one who had a hand in shaping the destinies and securing the independence of his native land, by word and pen, by brain and hand, it is most fitting that the story of his life should be re-told for young Americans in this series of Children's Lives of Great Men, in which Washington and Lincoln, Columbus and Grant have place. Benjamin Franklin belongs to the world; but especially does he belong to America. As the nations honored him while living, so the republic glorifies him when dead, and enshrines him in the choicest of its niches - the one which is regarded as the loftiest - the hearts of the common people. Among the learned men of the world none is more famous than he; among the patriots of the world none holds a higher place; among Americans none is worthier remembrance, veneration, or imitation. For the boys and girls of America I have tried to tell once more Franklin's remarkable story; hoping that, as they read anew of his struggles, his successes, and his greatness, they may find, perhaps, new things to honor and new traits to emulate in that shrewd, kindly, big-brained, great-hearted, noble old man, of whom the French poet said: - "He snatched the thunderbolt from heaven and the sceptre from tyrants."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Little Journey to the Home of Benjamin Franklin: American Statesman It is just 212 years ago, last January 19, that Benjamin Franklin was born, Pennsylvania's most distinguished citizen and a man who was indispensable to the establishment of these United States of America. In point of all-round development, Franklin must stand as our foremost American. We know of no one who ever lived a busier life, a happier life, a life more useful to others than Poor Richard. He is our greatest example of thrift. He wrote more on it and wrote better than any other man we know. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt: ...after the European manner, and was driving a profitable business. He was patronized by the foreign visitors and residents, and also by many of the Japanese officials, who had learned to like foreign cookery and customs during their journeys abroad, or were endeavoring to familiarize themselves with its peculiarities. Our friends found the restaurant quite satisfactory, and complimented the proprietor on the success of his management. It is no easy matter for a native to introduce foreign customs into his hotel in such a way as to give satisfaction to the people of the country from which the customs are taken. Uyeno is not by any means the only elevation in Tokio from which a good view can be had of the city and surrounding country. There are several elevations where such views are obtainable, and in nearly all of them the holy mountain, Fusiyama, has a prominent place. A famous view is that of Atago Yama, and another is from Suruga Dai. Both these places are popular resorts, and abound in tea-houses, refreshment booths, swings, and other public attractions. On pleasant afternoons there is always a large attendance of the populace, and it is interesting to see them amusing themselves. There are old people, middle-aged people, youths, and infants, the latter on the backs of their nurses, where they hang patiently on, and seem to enjoy their share of the fun. The quantity of tea that the natives consume in one of these afternoon entertainments is something prodigious; but they do not seem to suffer any injury from what some of us would consider a wild dissipation. Not far from where the Doctor and his young friends were seated was an enclosure where was held the First National Fair of Tokio in 1S77. The enclosure was still standing, and it...
