Benjamin Franklin was a writer, a philosopher, a scientist, a politician, a patriot, a Founding Father, an inventor, and publisher. He helped with the founding of the United States of America and changed the world with his discoveries about electricity. His writings such as Poor Richards' Almanac have provided wisdom for 17 years to the colonies.
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.

評分75 percent of the American affiliate themselves with churches, 59 percent of the American believe in Revelation. Yet, I will venture to say there is a belief, a religion that more embody the majority of the American than Christianity, and that is the belief...

He that has once done you a kindness will be more ready to do you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged.
評分第二遍 前一個版本太差
評分He is the best demonstration of the old style American dream men -- industrious, lucky, astute, with subtle proudness.
評分文筆很好 老先生照片能上美元 果然及不平凡的 學習他的勤奮!可是也在質疑他過分功力的心理 看到後來情節變得很無聊。。裏麵的幾大訓誡倒是很好
評分我討厭US HISTORY課本身還有一個原因,由於是本國的曆史,所以課程有很強的傾嚮。比如要求讀的書籍,對於我這種認真讀一本書會受其很大影響的人,讀完這本書幾乎都他媽的要成為半個基督徒瞭嗬嗬後!不過反思起來大概是英文書的閱讀速度比起中文的要慢,所以每次讀完一本書穿過瞭一個世界的感覺更明顯一些,Brideshead revisited感覺更明顯一些。
