Autobiography

by Benjamin Franklin

Overview

Benjamin Franklin began his autobiography in 1771 as remembrances for his son, William, and he added three segments to it during the last ten years of his life. A printer, scientist, and statesman, Franklin was also an engaging writer whose wit and wisdom make his writings as much a pleasure to read today as they were in the mid-eighteenth century.
