About This Item
Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) was an American polymath and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Franklin was a leading writer, printer, political philosopher, politician, Freemason, postmaster, scientist, inventor, humorist, civic activist, statesman, and diplomat.
His autobiography is considered a masterpiece, and a key element in the understanding of American history.
This copy was first published in 1941 by Walter J Black, and then again for the Classics Club in 1969.
It is beige tweed boards with red and gold on the cover and spine. The tops of the pages are dyed red.
It has not been read, or even opened.
However, there is a 2" white smear on the spine. It may come off; 'not sure.
That is its only flaw. It is otherwise pristine.

Synopsis
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 autobiography ever written.
