The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin

“I grew convinc'd that truth, sincerity, and integrity in dealings between man and man were of the utmost importance to the felicity of life.”
In this fascinating account of the life of one of America's greatest statesmen, The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin describes this Founding Father's rise from his humble beginnings in Philadelphia to his role at the centre of international politics. A famous polymath and inventor, Franklin was a major force in the American Enlightenment of the late 18th century. His learned contemplations on religion, philosophy, virtue, and society are as relevant today as they were during his own time.
