The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin is the traditional name for the unfinished record of his own life written by Benjamin Franklin from 1771 to 1790; however, Franklin himself appears to have called the work his Memoirs. Although it had a tortuous publication history after Franklin's death, this work has become one of the most famous and influential examples of an autobiography ever written. Franklin's account of his life is divided into four parts, reflecting the different periods at which he wrote them. There are actual breaks in the narrative between the first three parts, but Part Three's narrative continues into Part Four without an authorial break.

A good creation

Who am I to critique anything Mr. Franklin has ever written or done, but this feels like a capricorn teaching a pisces how to do things. Not that I want to diminish this to mere astrology intakes, but some good hundred years later, this book is, of course, a classic of its time but the way people took self-help to the worst ways possible makes us, modern readers, look at it with pure "meh". Sorry Mr. Franklin I know it's not what you intended, I get your purest intentions, but in this economy? We'll pass.
