Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Benjamin Franklin There is an irresistible appeal to both young and Old in the figure of Benjamin Franklin. Whether we view him as the printer's appren tice in Boston, slipping his own contributions under the door sill, so that his brother might be fooled into publishing them; or the run away lad reaching Philadelphia by hook or crook, and walking down the main street eat ing a roll of bread, with another tucked under each arm, while his future wife laughed at him from a neighboring doorway; or the man of affairs busied with many things for the ad vancement of his adopted town; or the simply dressed American'st'anding unabashed before Lords and crowned heads, not afraid to tell them the truth; or as one of the drafters of the Declaration of Independence; or as an ama teur scientist dabbling with electricity - in these and many another situations he seems like a personal 'friend. His face and form have not been obscured by the cobwebs of history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
