Benjamin Franklin: Silence Dogood, the Busy-Body, and Early Writings (Loa #37a)

by Benjamin Franklin

Book Overview

Statesman, scientist, philosopher, printer, and civic leader, Benjamin Franklin was also the most powerful writer of his time. From his first appearance in print, in the guise of the eccentric, opinionated, voluble "Silence Dogood" (1722), to his last published article, a searing satire against slavery (1790), he covered every aspect of "the question of America" with radiant clarity, wit, and penetration.
