Science - Donald McGraw
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.
Christian Science Monitor - Keith Henderson
This book...allows one to become much better acquainted with the enduring Mr. Franklin. And that is a delight.
New York Review of Books - Edmund S. Morgan
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.
