A Collection of the Familiar Letters And Miscellaneous Papers of Benjamin Franklin; Now for the First Time Published

First edition. Octavo brown cloth. A collection of primarily personal letters (from the preface: “We have here the records of a correspondence with different persons for nearly half a century”) and Miscellaneous Pieces “ indicating in pointed language the political opinions of Franklin at an important crisis”. Sometime recased with original cloth laid down. The upper spine is chipped, and the original spine label is worn, but legible. A very good, internally clean, copy.
