Benjamin Franklin
Benjamin Franklin, by John T. Morse Jr., the editor of the American Statesmen series, first appeared in that series in 1889 and is given here in its later Standard Library edition. Morse concentrates on Franklin as a public man: his early years and rise in Philadelphia, his missions to England as agent for Pennsylvania, the affair of the Hutchinson letters, his work in the Continental Congress, his years as minister to France, with its alliances, quarrels with fellow commissioners and the peace negotiations, and his final years as president of Pennsylvania and delegate to the Constitutional Convention. The tone is admiring but independent. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
