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.

当时我只有十二岁。按照合同,我将充当学徒直到我二十一岁时为止,但在最后一年中我将按照合同获得出师职工的工资。在很短的时期内,我熟悉了印刷业,成为我哥哥的得力助手。这时我有机会阅读较好的书籍了。我跟一些书铺的学徒们打交道,这种相识有时使我能够从他们那里借到一本小书,但是我很小心,很快地交还给他们,并且保持书本的整洁。有时候在晚间借到一本书,为了怕被人发现缺书或是怕有人要买这本书,第二天一清早即须归还,因此我常常坐在房间阅读到深夜。

当我住在小不列颠时,我结交了一个书商,叫做威尔考克,他的书铺就在我住处的隔壁。他拥有大量的旧书。当时流通图书馆还不存在,所以我们达成了协议,我出一笔合理的费用,数目我现在已经记不清了,我可以借阅他的任何书籍。我把这看作是莫大的便利,因此我就尽量地利用它。

过了一些时候,有一个很聪明的商人,名叫马太·亚当先生,经常到我们的印刷铺里来。他家藏书颇多,他注意到了我,邀我到他的藏书室里去,欣然借给我一些我要读的书籍,这时我爱上了诗歌,写了几首小诗。

正当我一心一意地在改进我的文体的时候,我偶然发现了一本英语语法(我想是一本格林乌的语法),在这本书的后面有两篇关于修辞法和逻辑的简短介绍,关于逻辑的那篇在结束时举了一个用苏格拉底对话法进行论辩的实例。此后不久我就买了一部色诺芬的《苏格拉底的重要言行录》。在这本书里有许多这种对话法的实例。我很喜欢这种方法,就采用它,放弃了我那生硬反驳和独断式的立论,却装成一个谦逊的发问和怀疑的人。
