Benjamin Franklin (1706 90) is best known as an American
revolutionary politician, but he also excelled as a printer,
journalist and natural philosopher despite having little formal
education. As a statesman, he was the only person to sign all three
major documents of American statehood: the Declaration of
Independence, the peace treaty with Britain, and the United States
constitution. This three-volume set, first published in 1874, was
compiled from Franklin's autobiography (covering the period up to
1857) and autobiographical passages from correspondence and other
writings. Using Franklin's own words, it tells his remarkable
story, which is integral to the political history of America.
Franklin's account of self-discipline and motivation remains one of
the most popular autobiographies of all time. Volume 1 of
Franklin's Life contains his original autobiography, and also
describes his experiments with lightning conductors, his opposition
to the Stamp Act, and his examination before the House of Commons.
