The story of the invention of the Franklin stove, the first Poor Richard's Almanac, and his experiments with electricity are all included here. His "Project for Moral Perfection"--a list of desirable virtues and steps to achieve them--influenced the modern self-help genre. Hundreds of years later, Franklin's account of his rise from middle-class obscurity to become a world-renowned scholar and civic figure continues to promote the American Dream. First published in 1791, this unabridged version of Franklin's autobiography is taken from the 1909 copyright edition. 606 $aStatesmen$zUnited States$vBiography 615 0$aStatesmen 676 $a973.3092 676 $aB 700 $aFranklin$b Benjamin$056881 702 $aEliot$b Charles William$f1834-1926, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910972774503321 996 $aAutobiography of Benjamin Franklin$91219961 997 $aUNINA
