The delightful correspondence between Benjamin Franklin and his
favorite sister, with an introduction and notes by Carl Van Doren.
Franklin wrote more letters to Jane Mecom than he is known to have
written to any other person, and as she emerges through these
letters we understand the reasons for the esteem in which he held
her. The letters cover a period of over sixty years, give new and
intimate glimpses of Franklin and of the times, particularly in
Philadelphia and Boston, and will enchant any reader of 18th
century Americana. Originally published in 1950. The Princeton
Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again
make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
