Translated into a dozen languages, printed in hundreds of editions, and read by millions of people, Franklin's autobiography has had an influence perhaps unequalled by any other book by an American writer. Written ostensibly as a letter to his son William, the autobiography offers Franklin's reflections on philosophy and religion, politics, war, education, material success and the status of women. This edition of the autobiography, prepared by the editors of "The Papers of Benjamin Franklin", is drawn with care from the original manuscript in Franklin's handwriting now in the Henry E. Huntington Library and Art Gallery. The introduction by Leonard Labaree places the autobiography in literary and historical contexts. In the foreword, Edmund Morgan writes about Franklin's dual allegiance as an American and a subject of an English king, and his emergence as a leader of the American Revolution. This edition also includes biographical notes, a chronology of Franklin's life, and an updated bibliography.

封面上的英文作者名、書名中的 Franklin 都寫成了 Franlin. 翻譯算一般吧。沒有逐頁對過。舉兩處隨手翻到的： > 這大概是一種自在隨意的表現吧。(p. 13) 原文是： > This's perhaps only negligence. > 所以，人類作爲理性動物崇尚實用便利，其原因在於實用能爲人們的所作...

第二遍 前一个版本太差

能在如此众多方面作出成就也只有富兰克林一人了

我讨厌US HISTORY课本身还有一个原因，由于是本国的历史，所以课程有很强的倾向。比如要求读的书籍，对于我这种认真读一本书会受其很大影响的人，读完这本书几乎都他妈的要成为半个基督徒了呵呵后！不过反思起来大概是英文书的阅读速度比起中文的要慢，所以每次读完一本书穿过了一个世界的感觉更明显一些，Brideshead revisited感觉更明显一些。

在老婆的推荐下看的。个人历史当中穿插着很多思考，非常受用。不过最后10页又一点迷失在各种人物和政治关系当中了。。另外古英语读起来很带感。

文笔很好 老先生照片能上美元 果然及不平凡的 学习他的勤奋！可是也在质疑他过分功力的心理 看到后来情节变得很无聊。。里面的几大训诫倒是很好
