Everyone should read this.
Published Aug. 6, 1915 by Donnelley & Sons.
Few men could compare to Benjamin Franklin. 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.
Written initially to guide his son, Franklin'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.

A thoughtful and interesting autobiography for the first part of Franklin's life. Unfortunately, he never got around to finishing it, so the most interesting periods of his life are missing...
