Benjamin Franklin; Representative Selections, With Introduction, Bibliography, And Notes brings Franklin’s wry wisdom and practical insights to a new generation of readers.This book offers more than a curated set of colonial era essays; it is a historical prose collection that foregrounds Franklin’s American political philosophy, civic discourse, and keen observations on daily life.

Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it is restored for today’s and future generations.
