1823 Ben Franklin Autobiography Essays America Government Politics Middletown CT

“Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.”

― Benjamin Franklin

Known as one of the most important and prolific founding fathers of America, Benjamin Franklin wrote several works that have left a legacy in American history. Franklin’s famous ‘Autobiography’ is often considered Franklin’s best-known book and is an important part of Americana. Originally known as ‘Memoirs’ by Franklin himself, ‘Autobiography’ covers each aspect of Franklin’s life including his studies in French, various letters he wrote while in Paris, the progress of his philosophies and experiments on electricity.

This 1823 edition, published in Middletown, Connecticut includes his essays as well as portions of his ‘Autobiography’. Curiously, Middletown was not one of the major printing hubs in the early 19^th-century – this is certainly a rare printing of an iconic Americana.
