內容簡介
"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.

我從小就愛好讀書,我一直把我手上的全部零用錢都花在書上。因為我喜愛《天路曆程》,所以我一開始就收集瞭約翰·班揚文集的單獨發行的小冊子。以後我把它們賣瞭,用這筆錢我買瞭柏頓的《曆史文集》。這些是開本很小的由小販們販賣的書籍,價格便宜,全集共有四五十冊,我父親的小圖書館收藏的主要是一些有關神學論辯的書籍,其中大多數我都念瞭,但是既然當時業已決定我不做牧師瞭,正當我的求知欲那樣旺盛的時候,我沒有機會閱讀更適當的書籍,迄今常使我感到遺憾,在那裏有一本普魯泰剋的《英雄傳》,我讀瞭不少,我還認為讀這本書所花的時間是非常值得的。那裏也有笛福的一本名為《論計劃》的書,另一本是馬太博士的書,名為《論行善》。這本書可能在我思想上形成瞭一種對於我以後一生中的某些重大事件都有影響的傾嚮。
