Blessed with enormous talents and the energy and ambition to go with them, Franklin was a statesman, author, inventor, printer, and scientist. He helped draft the Declaration of Independence and later was involved in negotiating the peace treaty with Britain that ended the Revolutionary War. He also invented bifocals, a stove that is still manufactured, a water-harmonica and the lightning rod. Franklin's extraordinary range of interests and accomplishments are brilliantly recorded in his 'Autobiography', considered one of the classics of the genre

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.
