There are many presentations of this work, which started as a series of letters to the author's son. This was a straightforward edition without burdensome editorialization. It was a useful if quick glimpse into Franklin's interests and the trajectory and increasing complexity and fame of his life.
Interesting to see his life from a historical perspective. A small peak into the explosion of religious sects in the colonies and his printing business. The writing style and tone are dry by today's standards and I don't feel I ever got to know how he thinks.
