Written between 1771 and 1790, The Autobiography of Benjamin
Franklin is an unfinished record of Franklin's rich life history
and the legacy he built in his scientific and political career. The
classic memoir was published after Franklin passed away. The
autobiography is divided into four parts, with each part
chronicling the events from different time periods when he wrote
it. The first part of the book contains letters that he wrote to
his son, William, detailing their lineage and his stay in England.
Franklin wrote the second part while he was still in France; his
relations soured with William after the Revolutionary War. In the
third part, he chronicled his return to America where he records
all the progress achieved by his country. The fourth part, however,
remains incomplete and only contains notable events from the last
year of Franklin's life. Franklin's autobiography continues to
inspire generation after generation of readers across the world.
Interestingly, in the introduction to the 1916 edition of the
biography, the editor F.W. Pine wrote that it provided the "most
remarkable of all the remarkable histories of our self-made men",
with Franklin as the greatest example of the "self-made man".
