《富兰克林自传》1771年执笔，1788年完成，前后历时17年之久，晚年的本杰明·富兰克林功成名就，在世界已经闻名，他成为出版商、印刷商、记者、作家、慈善家，更是杰出的外交家及发明家。他回顾自己的一生并深刻总结出了《富兰克林自传》，旨在为“儿子们”少走“弯路”而写

A classic of eighteenth-century American history and literature, Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography has had an influence perhaps unequaled by any other book by an American writer. Written ostensibly as a letter to his son William, Franklin's Autobiography offers his reflections on philosophy and religion, politics, war, education, material success, and the status of women.

Prepared by the editors of The Papers of Benjamin Franklin this definitive edition is drawn with scrupulous care from the original manuscript in Franklin's handwriting now in the Henry E. Huntington Library and Art Gallery. The introduction by Leonard W. Labaree places the autobiography in literary and historical contexts. In a new foreword, eminent Franklin scholar Edmund S. Morgan writes about Franklin's dual allegiance as an American and a subject of an English king-and his emergence as a leader of the American Revolution. This edition also includes biographical notes, a chronology of Franklin's life, and an updated bibliography.
