"""Franklin's is one of the greatest autobiographies in literature, and towers over other autobiographies as Franklin towered over other men."" -- ""William Dean Howells"" ""The most widely read autobiography ever written by an American. It has served many Americans as it may have served Franklin--to define what it meant, what it had meant, and what it ought to mean to be an American."" -- ""Edmund S. Morgan, emeritus professor of history, Yale University"""
