Franklin never completed his autobiography, choosing instead to im ..."

Personality (New York: Cambridge UP, 1984), pp. 282-85. 11. This motto
contains the seeds of Robert Middlekauf's theme in Benjamin Franklin and His
Enemies (Berkeley: U of California P, 1996). 12. Franklin thought highly enough
of this prayer to include it in his daily regimen, yet even readers who do attend to
it frequently slight its language. Nancy Glazener, fo ..."

"Benjamin Franklin, writes Douglas Anderson in his preface, is "no one's contemporary... Blending elements of the fifteenth-century spiritual discipline of Thomas à Kempis with the journalistic energy of Daniel Defoe, the urbane reason of Lord Shaftesbury with the scientific initiative of Thomas Edison, Franklin places exceptional demands on the historical imagination of his readers―demands that are inevitably slighted by writers who emp ..."

Based on that experience, Douglas has assigned a personality to the rockets and has thus woven a whimsical element into an otherwise historical account o ..."
