Inhaltsangabe

This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Benjamin Franklin was an American writer, scientist, inventor, statesman, diplomat, printer, and political thinker whose influence spanned multiple fields. Born on January 17, 1706, in Boston to Josiah Franklin and Abiah Folger, he was the fifteenth of seventeen children. Limited formal education did not hinder his intellectual growth, as he became a self-taught polymath, excelling in various disciplines. His early years in printing led to the publication of Poor Richard s Almanack, which promoted practical wisdom. His scientific contributions, particularly in electricity, earned international acclaim, while his inventions, such as the lightning rod and bifocal glasses, reflected his commitment to progress. As a statesman, Franklin played a crucial role in the American Revolution, helping draft the Declaration of Independence and negotiating the Treaty of Paris. His diplomatic efforts in France were instrumental in securing support for the revolutionary cause. A strong advocate for unity and civic responsibility, he contributed to the formation of institutions like the University of Pennsylvania. Franklin s life exemplified curiosity, perseverance, and public service, leaving a lasting legacy in politics, science, and literature. He passed away in Philadelphia on April 17, 1790, at the age of 84.
