The first edition of Franklin's famous autobiography in a fine period binding. This is certainly Franklin's best-known book and a classic piece of Americana. In it, Franklin tells the story of his climb, by means of thrift and frugality, from poverty to success and influence. It is also one of the best pictures of life in Philadelphia during his youth and middle age. Franklin is remarkably frank throughout the work about his motives and the people with whom he was involved.Other Names and Numbers
