Benjamin Franklin is one of the best known and most widely admired
figures in American history. His wit and charm make him endearing;
his practical intelligence and commitment to middle-class virtues
like thrift and industry make him admirable. Indeed to many he is
'the first American'. Ironically, this identification of Franklin
with American popular culture diminishes the breadth and depth of
his contributions to modern political thought. The present volume
provides the textual foundation for a fuller understanding of
Franklin's thought, and represents a major addition to the
Cambridge Texts series. Readers interested in the Autobiography
will find a new and complete edition based on the original
manuscript. Those interested in the full range of Franklin's
political ideas will find a selection of his most important
letters, essays and pamphlets. Alan Houston's lucid introduction
brings life to these texts and sets them in their proper historical
context.
