The Pictorial Life of Benjamin Franklin (Classic Reprint) by H. Hastings Weld Pdf

Excerpt from The Pictorial Life of Benjamin Franklin The definition of history - "philosophy teaching by example," is much more correctly applied to the history of a life, of biography, than to a general narrative, in which events are necessarily more the objects of description than character. And youth, who seem guided in their pursuit of reading by a sort of instinct, which directs them to that by which they receive the most distinct ideas and vivid impressions, universally prefer biography. They not only like to hear how the great and wise thought and acted, in connection with public events, but to understand something of the private life and personal history of those who fill a large place in the annals of the world.

The Story of Benjamin Franklin (Classic Reprint) by Clare Tree Major Pdf

Excerpt from The Story of Benjamin Franklin There is an irresistible appeal to both young and Old in the figure of Benjamin Franklin. Whether we view him as the printer's appren tice in Boston, slipping his own contributions under the door sill, so that his brother might be fooled into publishing them; or the run away lad reaching Philadelphia by hook or crook, and walking down the main street eat ing a roll of bread, with another tucked under each arm, while his future wife laughed at him from a neighboring doorway; or the man of affairs busied with many things for the ad vancement of his adopted town; or the simply dressed American'st'anding unabashed before Lords and crowned heads, not afraid to tell them the truth; or as one of the drafters of the Declaration of Independence; or as an ama teur scientist dabbling with electricity - in these and many another situations he seems like a personal 'friend. His face and form have not been obscured by the cobwebs of history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Life of Benjamin Franklin (Classic Reprint) by W& R. Chambers Pdf

Excerpt from Life of Benjamin Franklin And here let me with all humility acknowledge that to Divine Providence I am indebted for the felicity I have hitherto enjoyed. It is that Power alone which has furnished me with the means I have employed, and that has crowned them with success. My faith in this respect leads me to hope, though I cannot count upon it, that the Divine goodness will still be exercised towards me, either by prolonging the duration of my happiness to the close of life, or by giving me fortitude to support any melancholy reverse which may happen to me as to so many others. My future fortune is unknown but to Him in whose hand is our destiny, and who can make our very afflictions subservient to our benefit.

Life and Times of Benjamin Franklin, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint) by James Parton Pdf

Excerpt from Life and Times of Benjamin Franklin, Vol. 1 Not until 1817, when Dr. Franklin had been dead twenty-seven years, was his Autobiography given to the world in his own lan guage and without abridgment. It was published, then, in the edition of his works edited by his grandson; who had delayed the issue, as it is supposed, from a regard to the interests of his aged father, a pensioner of the English government, who died in 1813.

The True Benjamin Franklin (Classic Reprint) by Sydney George Fisher Pdf

Excerpt from The True Benjamin Franklin This analysis of the life and character of Franklin has in view a similar object to that of the volume entitled The True George Washington, which was prepared for the publishers by Mr. Paul Leicester Ford and issued a year or two ago. Washington sadly needed to be humanized, to be rescued from the myth-making process which had been destroying all that was lovable in his character and turning him into a mere bundle of abstract qualities which it was piously supposed would be wholesome examples for the American people. This assumption that our people are children who must not be told the eternal truths of human nature, but deceived into goodness by wooden heroes and lay figures, seems, fortunately, to be passing away, and in a few years it will be a strange phase to look back upon.

Benjamin Franklin (Classic Reprint) by John Torrey Morse Pdf

Excerpt from Benjamin Franklin Benton might possibly have been included upon his own merits. But if there were any doubt upon this point, or if including him would seem to have rendered it proper to include others equally eminent and yet omitted, the reply is that Benton serves the important purpose of giving the best available opportunity to sketch the character of the Southwest, and the political feeling and develop ment in that section of the country.

The True Story of Benjamin Franklin, the American Statesman (Classic Reprint) by Elbridge Streeter Brooks Pdf

Excerpt from The True Story of Benjamin Franklin, the American Statesman Statesman, philanthropist, patriot, inventor, author, printer, humorist, business-man, helper, friend, the lover of children, of humanity and the world - all these was Benjamin Franklin, most remarkable of Americans. As one who had a hand in shaping the destinies and securing the independence of his native land, by word and pen, by brain and hand, it is most fitting that the story of his life should be re-told for young Americans in this series of Children's Lives of Great Men, in which Washington and Lincoln, Columbus and Grant have place. Benjamin Franklin belongs to the world; but especially does he belong to America. As the nations honored him while living, so the republic glorifies him when dead, and enshrines him in the choicest of its niches - the one which is regarded as the loftiest - the hearts of the common people. Among the learned men of the world none is more famous than he; among the patriots of the world none holds a higher place; among Americans none is worthier remembrance, veneration, or imitation. For the boys and girls of America I have tried to tell once more Franklin's remarkable story; hoping that, as they read anew of his struggles, his successes, and his greatness, they may find, perhaps, new things to honor and new traits to emulate in that shrewd, kindly, big-brained, great-hearted, noble old man, of whom the French poet said: - "He snatched the thunderbolt from heaven and the sceptre from tyrants."

Life and Times of Benjamin Franklin, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint) by James Parton Pdf

Excerpt from Life and Times of Benjamin Franklin, Vol. 2 England had lost her colonies, though no one yet suspected it. Madness now seized both parties; only there was method in the madness of the colonists. It is not ours to relate the public events which accompanied and followed the scenes just described: such as the destruction of the tea in Boston harbor; the passage of Lord North's avenging measure, called the Boston Port Bill; the adoption of the cause of Boston as their own by the other colonies; six regiments of British troops posted in Boston; the calm protests of Washington, Lee, and Jefferson; the wild eloquence of Patrick Henry; the passage of the bill transferring political offenders to England for trial, with their train of witnesses and advocates; the torrents of petitions against these measures; the haughty rejection of these petitions; the tumults in America; the exasperating insolence of the king's speeches to Parliament; and, above all, the meeting of the Continental Congress at Philadelphia. All these things have been eloquently told by Mr. Bancroft, and are familiar to decently informed persons in every land. America became the universal topic, France appearing to be more interested in it than England, though there were in Parliament fifty "field-night" debates upon America during the next three or four years.
