註釋
"Benjamin Franklin, Writer and Printer begins by focusing on Franklin's career as a printer, from his apprenticeship to his retirement in 1748, by which time he had created the largest printing business in colonial America. His success as a printer was based not only on the newspaper and the popular almanacs be published, but also on job printing of various kinds, ranging from folio volumes of laws to paper money and blank forms." "Much of what we know about Franklin as writer and printer comes from his autobiography, the focus of the last part of this book. Left unfinished at his death in 1790, the autobiography was known to the world for nearly eighty years only in translations, fragments, paraphrases, and, in English, from retranslations of a 1791 French translation."--BOOK JACKET.
