The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin
The Autobiography of Benjamin <b>Franklin</b>” align=”left” style=”margin-right: 15px;” /> <BLOCKQUOTE>“The first book to belong permanently to literature. It created a man.” <P>– From the Introduction</BLOCKQUOTE><P>Few men could compare to Benjamin <b>Franklin</b>. Virtually self-taught, he excelled as an athlete, a man of letters, a printer, a scientist, a wit, an inventor, an editor, and a writer, and he was probably the most successful diplomat in American history. David Hume hailed him as the first great philosopher and great man of letters in the New World.<P>Written initially to guide his son, <b>Franklin</b>’s autobiography is a lively, spellbinding account of his unique and eventful life. Stylistically his best work, it has become a classic in world literature, one to inspire and delight readers everywhere.</p> <p> <b>Author:</b> Benjamin <b>Franklin</b> <br /> <b>Paperback:</b>  160 pages <br /> <b>Company:</b> Touchstone  (2003-12-23) <br /> <b>ISBN:</b> 0743255062<br /> <b>List Price:</b> $10.95<br /> <b>Amazon Price:</b> $4.79<br /> <b>Used Price:</b> $4.57</p> <p><i>Source: www.amazon.com</i></p> <p><b>Looking for Liberty </b><br /><a target=The Declaration of Independence is a national treasure but like many treasures, the quest it inspires may be more rewarding than the illusion of possession.
