About This Item
Text is clean and unmarked in a square and tight binding. Age-toning present. A solid volume. From the preface, "From Franklin's beginnings as a journalist at sixteen to his retirement from public affairs at eighty-two there was no break in his activity, and he was - and is - unsurpassed by any man in the range of his natural gifts and of the important uses he put them to. ...not for three-quarters of a century has a biographer undertaken to bring the whole of Franklin's life, with all the precise details essential to it, into a single narrative large enough to do it justice."
Synopsis
