Memoirs of Benjamin Franklin; Written by Himself. [Vol. 2 of 2] by Franklin
"Memoirs of Benjamin Franklin; Written by Himself. [Vol. 2 of 2]" by Benjamin Franklin is an autobiography written between 1771 and 1790. This unfinished account chronicles Franklin's remarkable journey from humble beginnings to self-made success. Written across four distinct periods of his life, Franklin reflects on his childhood, apprenticeship, early struggles in printing, and his quest for moral perfection through thirteen carefully chosen virtues. The narrative ends in 1758, decades before his
death, leaving an influential portrait of American ambition and self-improvement. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
