内容简介
"Writing has been of Great Use to me in the Course of my Life," Benjamin Franklin said in his famous Autobiography. With characteristically calculated understatement, he attributed his enormous and varied successes to "my having learnt a little to scribble."
This collection of Franklin's works begins with letters sent from London (1757-1775) describing the events and diplomacy preceding the Revolutionary War. The volume also contains political satires, bagatelles, pamphlets, and letters written in Paris (1776-1785), where he represented the revolutionary United States at the court of Louis XVI, as well as his speeches given in the Constitutional Convention and other works written in Philadelphia (1785-1790), including his last published article, a searing satire against slavery.
Also included are the delightfully shrewd prefaces to Poor Richard's Almanack (1733-1758) and their worldly, pungent maxims that have entered our American culture. Finally, the classic Autobiography, Franklin's last word on his greatest literary creation-his own invented personality-is presented here in a new edition, completely faithful to Franklin's manuscript.
A companion volume includes the complete "Silence Dogood" series, "Busy-Body" essays, and a generous selection of his early writings, including letters to the press, satires, and pamphlets.

大约在这时候,我偶然看到了一本《旁观者》的零本,是第三册,在这以前,我从未曾看见过这个刊物。我买了这本散册,反复读了几遍,十分中意,我认为文章写得好极了,如果可能的话,我想模仿它的风格。因此我拿了几篇论文把每一句的思想作一个简单的摘要,接着把它搁置几天,然后不看原书,用我自己想得起来的合适辞句,把每一点摘录下来的思想用完整的句子表达出来,又凑成整篇的论文,使它表达得像以前一样地完整。然后我把我的《旁观者》与原来的比较,发现一些我的缺点,作了修正。我把其中的一些故事改写成了诗,过一些时候,当我差不多已经遗忘了原来的散文的时候,我又把它们重新还原。有时候我也把我摘录的思想搞乱了,经过几个星期以后,设法把它们用最好的次序排列起来,然后再把它们写成完整的句子,拼成论文。这样做是为了教我如何排列思想的方法,在复原后与原文比较时,我发现了许多缺点,就加以改正。
