One of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America, Benjamin Franklin was a true Renaissance man: writer, publisher, scientist, inventor, diplomat, and politician. During his long life, he offered advice on attaining wealth, organized public institutions, contributed to the birth of a nation, and negotiated with foreign powers to ensure his countrys survival.Through the words of the elder statesman himself, The Autobiography and Other Writings presents a remarkable insight into the man and his accomplishments. Additional writings from Benjamin Franklins wife and son provide a more intimate portrait of the husband and father who became a legend in his own time.Edited by L. Jesse LemichWith a New Introduction by Walter Isaacson and an Afterword by Carla MulfordPublisher, inventor, educator, and statesman, Benjamin Franklin was a complex and appealing character. Here is a wide-ranging selection of his writings from Poor Richard''s Almanac, scientific essays, and political commentaries, plus a generous dose of his famous humor.
Benjamin Franklins writings have inspired millions throughout the years, and his advice on how to earn and save money is timeless. "The Way to Wealth" was an essay written by Benjamin Franklin in 1758. He was on a journey to England and resented the time wasted waiting for the ship to sail (it was anchored in New York for 2 weeks) that he began collecting adages and advice from 25 years worth of publication of Poor Richards Alamanac (Spelled Alamanack at the time). Because the poor man couldnt afford books, he would spend his earnings on yearly almanacs filled with astrology, jokes, stories, and other works of amusement. In Poor Richards Alamanac, Franklin copied some of the more popular pieces of advice, slightly modified, and also included original works of his own
