Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Benjamin Franklin and Germany, Vol. 21 If one examines the bibliography of Benjamin Franklin, it will seem almost impossible to conceive of any phase of the life or activities of the "many-sided" Doctor, which has not been exhaustively treated. The following dissertation was suggested by Professor Marion Dexter Learned, of the University of Pennsylvania, who was kind enough to place in the author´s hands photographic reproductions of the correspondence of the American representatives, Carmichael, Arthur and William Lee and others, which were directed for the most part to Schulenburg, the Minister of War and State for Frederick the Great. These were most helpful in following Franklin´s diplomatic career. Benjamin Franklin spent from June 15 to August 13, 1766, in Germany. The American Philosophical Society of Philadelphia in the Collection of Franklin Papers possesses ample proof of this visit in several original letters. One addressed to Mrs. Franklin dated London, June 13, 1766, gives his intended plans thus: "Tomorrow I set out with my friend Mr. Pringle (now Sir John) on a journey to Pyrmont where he goes to drink the waters. I propose to leave him at Pyrmont and visit some of the principal cities nearest to it and call for him again when the time for our return draws nigh." Franklin visited Gottingen and Hanover. Of his visit to Hanover we possess but one proof - a Latin letter from a Dr. Hartmann of that city. Of the journey to the University of Gottingen and his associations with professors of that institution there is richer proof. Franklin himself intended to treat this trip in his Autobiography under headlines "Journey into Germany, 1766. Civilities received there. Gottingen observations."
