The authoritative edition of Franklin's autobiography, with a foreword by the eminent Franklin scholar Edmund S. Morgan

"The best and most beautiful edition of the Autobiography]."--J. H. Plumb, New York Review of Books

"Among the many editions available-read Yale's. Its text is the most reliable (the Franklin papers are at Yale) and its supplementary material is uniformly useful."--Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post

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.

Excellent quality for an excellent price tag
Color: Blue, Size: Medium
The suit arrived in 2 days after ordering; it arrived in excellent condition, was wrapped in clear plastic, however it was only in one package and should have been wrapped in a second layer in case of accidentally opening during the shipping process. The suit was folded very neatly, I'll keep it as is as it's a gift for a friend of mine who is a musician and he will use it for performance on stage. The size was M and correct. Unfortunately, it has arrived in the wrong color, I ordered blue, and purple has been delivered. I hope, he likes it anyway. I'll keep it as it is too inconvenient for me to exchange it and ship it back to the sender.

Beautiful suit
Color: Purple, Size: Small
Suit is better than I expected. Bought this for my son for prom. The sequins POP. I am highly satisfied with this purchase. My son is 5'6 about 130 lbs and I ordered a size XS and it fit perfect. The only complaint I have is there is a hole for a button but no button is attached to the suit. Besides that, GET IT.

Great suit
Color: Purple, Size: X-Small
Fit my husband perfectly for our friends wedding and it was comfortable. It doesn't get wrinkled fast if at all. The quality was not bad for the price.
