Benjamin Franklin His Life

By: Benjamin Franklin

[Franklin] was thoroughly human, extraordinarily versatile, and endowed with a genius for enjoying and describing all that makes up the prose of life. If we want poetry, we must leave Franklin undisturbed on our shelves, and take up Shakespeare or Milton. But fortunately a love for poetry does not exclude a love for prose. Franklin's Autobiography and Defoe's Robinson Crusoe are fully worthy to stand on the same shelf with the plays of Shakespeare and Paradise Lost .
