This volume includes Franklin's reflections on such diverse questions as philosophy and religion social status electricity American national characteristics war and the status of women. Nearly sixty years separate the earliest writings from the latest an interval during which Franklin was continually balancing between the puritan values of his upbringing and the modern American world to which his career served as prologue.
