W/ characteristically calculated understatement, he attributed his enormous & varied successes to "my having learnt a little to scribble." This LOA collection of Franklin's works begins w/ letters sent from London (1757-1775) describing the events & diplomacy preceding the Revolutionary War. The volume also contains political satires, bagatelles, pamphlets, & 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 & other works written in Philadelphia (1785-1790), including his last published article, a searing satire against slavery. Also included are the delightfully shrewd prefaces to "Poor Richard's Almanack" (1733-1758) & their worldly, pungent maxims that have entered our American culture. Finally, the classic "Autobiography", 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. * THE LIRBARY OF AMERICA is an award-winning, nonprofit program dedicated to publishing America's best & most significant writing in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts. Hailed as "the most important book-publishing project in the nation's history" (Newsweek), this acclaimed series is restoring America's literary heritage in "the finest-looking, longest-lasting edition ever made" (New Republic).
