The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin

Classics for Your Collection: goo.gl/U80LCr --------- Dr. Benjamin Franklin is the embodiment of Thomas Edison's "Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration." He came from a poor family. His sensible father was of good character. Dr. Franklin was a deist. What God has given man, he purposefully, methodically, and continually used to improve himself. A self-driven independent thinker, he endeavored to improve, not only mentally and financially, but morally. He did it for his own sake, and the fruits became the glory of mankind. This is a wonderfully inspiring read. It's a small book packed with great insights into virtuous living. His curiosity and observation of the world around him lead Franklin to live an amazingly full life in which he accomplished much for the good of mankind. All this combined with his wit and writing style make it enjoyable to read and truly encourages the reader towards self improvement. Benjamin Franklin was a statesman, an author, an inventor, a scientist, a printer, and the list goes on and on when describing Benjamin Franklin. As an autobiographer he also demonstrated his genius as he reinvented the genre and the result is a classic. To read his story in his own words makes it really fun, entertaining and inspiring. The book reveals about early and mid-18th century America and its inhabitants. The journey from Boston to Philadelphia was far different in those days! The way he talks about men being "bred" to their various professions is fascinating, as is his discussion of religious beliefs and doctrines of the time. And it's so interesting to see the workings of the pre-Revolutionary government, in which each colony is nearly a separate country, and yet all absolutely subjects of the Crown. Even in death, no one can imagine imagine Franklin resting. There is always just too much to do, too many questions to ask, too many books to read, too much to explore. Scroll Up and Get Your Copy!
