Sobre este artículo
Chicago: The Lakeside Press, 1903. First thus. Very good+ in dark green cloth covered boards with gilt borders on the front board and gilt text on the spine. Much of the gilt on the top edge of the text block has been destroyed by silverfish and there are two tiny chips to the cloth at the head of the spine and light rubbing to the cloth at the heel of the spine. The gilt text on the spine and gilt logo and borders on the front board are very bright and clean. 264 pages of text illustrated with a frontispiece portrait of Benjamin Franklin from an earlier work of art. This is the first Lakeside Classic which was issued at Christmas time in 1903 and is rather uncommon. There are no prior ownership markings of any kind within this copy.
Sinopsis
The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin is the traditional name for the unfinished record of his own life written by Benjamin Franklin from 1771 to 1790; however, Franklin himself appears to have called the work his Memoirs. Although it had a tortuous publication history after Franklin's death, this work has become one of the most famous and influential examples of autobiography ever written.
