Selected Papers HOME PREFACE AFTERWORD PDF ... MORE INFO FRANKLIN HENRY MICHELSON ROWLAND GIBBS ... COMPTON B ENJAMIN F RANKLIN In 1776 Benjamin Franklin He was forty years old before he took up scientific research; until then he had been chiefly concerned with earning a living. His brief formal education ended at the age of ten when he was removed from school to help his father, a Boston chandler and soapmaker. But he had acquired an interest in books and was soon apprenticed to his elder brother, a printer. Before the end of his apprenticeship he ran away to seek his fortune, and after a short time in Philadelphia, sailed for England. In London he perfected his knowledge of the art of printing and made friends with some gentlemen scientists. He just missed being introduced to the aging Isaac Newton. Returning to Philadelphia in 1726, Franklin set up a printing business. His Poor Richard's Almanack and other publications were popular, and he also succeeded in colonial society, throwing himself enthusiastically into every variety of civic affairs. In 1743 an itinerant lecturer from England demonstrated the latest electrical experiments to the wondering colonials. Franklin saw these demonstrations and later bought the lecturer's entire apparatus. In 1745 he began to experiment on his own, and soon after turned the management of his printing business over to a partner. "When I disengaged myself . . . from private business," he wrote, "I flatter'd myself that, by the sufficient tho' modest fortune I had acquired, I had secured leisure during the rest of my life for philosophical studies and amusements."

Benjamin Franklin Fascinating facts about Benjamin Franklin inventor of the lightning rod and bifocal glasses. Franklin, Benjamin (1706-1790), American printer, author, diplomat, philosopher, scientist, inventor, and one of America's greatest statesmen. Franklin was born on January 17, 1706, in Boston. His father, Josiah Franklin, a tallow chandler by trade, had 17 children; Benjamin was the 15th child and the 10th son. His mother, Abiah Folger, was his father's second wife. The Franklin family was in modest circumstances, like most New Englanders of the time. After his attendance at grammar school from age eight to ten, Benjamin was taken into his father's business. Finding the work uncongenial, however, he entered the employ of a cutler. At age 13 he was apprenticed to his brother James, who had recently returned from England with a new printing press. Benjamin learned the printing trade, devoting his spare time to the advancement of his education. His reading included Pilgrim's Progress by the British preacher John Bunyan

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) D. Benjamin Franklin. Johann Elias Haid (d. 1809). Mezzotint, 1780. Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division . Reproduction Number: LC-USZ62-45185. Benjamin Franklin gave over sixty years of his life to public service, but he never turned his back on his trade printing. Apprenticed to a Boston printer at the age of twelve, his talent and ambition drove him to Philadelphia after five years, seeking new challenges. Seven years later, in 1730, he purchased a newspaper, the Pennsylvania Gazette ; the paper flourished due to editor Franklin's wise and witty writing. Poor Richard's Almanack , Franklin's most popular publication (1732-1757), earned him so much money that for the first time in his life, he could enjoy the luxury of leisure time. He began to experiment with electricity, establishing himself as a gifted scientist. Besides his skills as a printer and a writer, Franklin had many civic interests. In Philadelphia, he involved himself with public welfare, fire-fighting, and education. His civic involvement led to political activities, and by 1751, Franklin was in the Pennsylvania legislature, where he served for twelve years. During the Revolutionary War, he acted as American Minister to France, successfully gaining French support for the new American nation. Enormously popular among the French, Franklin had his own printing press at Passy, and he frequently printed American propaganda and witty amusements for his friends. Franklin's last public service was in the Constitutional Convention, where he enjoyed the respect and admiration due to a living legend.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN (1706-1790) Memoires de la Vie Privee de Benjamin Franklin, ecrits par lui-meme . Paris: Buisson, 1791. The Private Life of the Late Benjamin Franklin . Originally Written by Himself, and Now Translated from the French . London: J. Parsons, 1793. The memoirs of Benjamin Franklin are among the most widely read of all American autobiographies. The memoir was originally begun in 1771 as a letter to Franklin's illegitimate son, William, the last royal governor of New Jersey. The remainder was composed much later in Franklin's life and published after his death. Despite the long and complicated history of the autobiography's composition and publication, it remains a fine example of Franklin's expository writing and one of the most influential works in American literature. When Franklin died on April 17, 1790, his grandson, William Temple Franklin, became his literary executor. Temple Franklin had ambitious plans for the publication of his grandfather's manuscripts, but his "official" version did not appear until 1818. Early in 1791, however, a French translation of the first part of Franklin's memoirs appeared in Paris, representing the first printed edition of Franklin's autobiography. How the French publisher, Buisson, obtained a copy of the manuscript is still a matter of conjecture. Although Temple Franklin was not pleased, two translations from the French were printed in London in 1793. It was not until 1868 that John Bigelow, former American Minister to France, published an edition which included all four of the parts, rigorously based on the original Franklin manuscripts which Bigelow had purchased.
