By judiciously selecting from [a] vast potpourri of materials, Wright has created a single, manageable work that functions as the penultimate introduction to Franklin in all his guises...Any person seeking to know Franklin the man, the scientist, the printer, and the patriot could not find a better introduction. By judiciously selecting from a vast potpourri of materials, Wright has created a single, manageable work that functions as the penultimate introduction to Franklin in all his guises...Any person seeking to know Franklin the man, the scientist, the printer, and the patriot could not find a better introduction. -- Donald McGraw "Science" Franklin the man, the scientist, the printer, and the patriot could not find a better introduction. This book...allows one to become much better acquainted with the enduring Mr. Franklin. And that is a delight. Wright has chosen passages that reveal Franklin's daily life and public career, his wit and wisdom, and Wright gives continuity to them with brief introductions and comments.

Reseña del editor:

Picking up where Franklin's own autobiography leaves off, this profile of an American statesman discusses his foreign service, his embassies to England and France, and his scientific experiments.
