Dear son: I have ever had pleasure in obtaining any little anecdotes of my ancestors. You may remember the inquiries I made among the remains of my relations when you were with me in England, and the journey I undertook for that purpose. Imagining it may be equally agreeable to you to know the circumstances of my life, many of which you are yet unacquainted with, and expecting the enjoyment of a week’s uninterrupted leisure in my present country retirement, I sit down to write them for you.
🎧 Includes the full unabridged audiobook (LibriVox recording) along with the ePub.

Description

Benjamin Franklin's candid and witty autobiography, left unfinished at his death, traces his rise from Boston printer's apprentice to world-famous statesman, scientist, and philosopher. One of the great self-made-man narratives in American literature — practical, humorous, and quietly profound.

"He was therefore, feasted and invited to all the court parties. At these he sometimes met the old Duchess of Bourbon, who, being a chess player of about his force, they very generally played together. Happening once to put her king into prize, the Doctor took it. 'Ah,' says she, 'we do not take kings so.' 'We do in America,' said the Doctor."—Thomas Jefferson
