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.

　　 當時我隻有十二歲。按照閤同，我將充當學徒直到我二十一歲時為止，但在最後一年中我將按照閤同獲得齣師職工的工資。在很短的時期內，我熟悉瞭印刷業，成為我哥哥的得力助手。這時我有機會閱讀較好的書籍瞭。我跟一些書鋪的學徒們打交道，這種相識有時使我能夠從他們那裏藉到一本小書，但是我很小心，很快地交還給他們，並且保持書本的整潔。有時候在晚間藉到一本書，為瞭怕被人發現缺書或是怕有人要買這本書，第二天一清早即須歸還，因此我常常坐在房間閱讀到深夜。

幾大開國元勛中對此人感覺一般，但傑弗遜等的美國文庫早已脫銷，先買著看看，其實大多篇目平裝本都齣過。

　　 當我住在小不列顛時，我結交瞭一個書商，叫做威爾考剋，他的書鋪就在我住處的隔壁。他擁有大量的舊書。當時流通圖書館還不存在，所以我們達成瞭協議，我齣一筆閤理的費用，數目我現在已經記不清瞭，我可以藉閱他的任何書籍。我把這看作是莫大的便利，因此我就盡量地利用它。
