Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. "Writing has been of Great Use to me in the Course of my Life," Benjamin Franklin said in his famousAutobiography. With characteristically calculated understatement, he attributed his enormous and varied successes to "my having learnt a little to scribble."This Library of America 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 toPoor Richard's Almanack(1733-1758) and their worldly, pungent maxims that have entered our American culture. Finally, the classicAutobiography, 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.Acompanion volumeincludes the complete "Silence Dogood" series, "Busy-Body" essays, and a generous selection of his early writings, including letters to the press, satires, and pamphlets.LIBRARY OF AMERICAis an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation's literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America's best and most significant writing.
