Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of Benjamin Franklin, Vol. 1: Containing Several Political and Historical Tracts Not Included in Any Former Edition, and Many Letters Official and Private Not Hitherto Published; With Notes and a Life of the Author Few writers have been so regardless of literary reputation as Franklin. Scarcely any of his compositions were published under his own eye, many of them were not written for the press; and the fame of authorship appears rarely to have been among the motives by which he was induced to employ his pen. It is true, that, in early life and afterwards, he cultivated with uncommon assiduity the art of writing, till he attained a mastery over the language, which has raised his name to the first rank in English literature. Yet it was his primary object, not so much to become distinguished by this accomplishment, as to acquire the power of acting on the minds of others, and of communicating, in the most attractive and effectual manner, such discoveries as he might make, and his schemes for the general improvement, the moral culture, the comfort, and happiness of mankind. He seldom affixed his name to any of his writings. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
