THE WORKS
Os
)R. BENJAMIN IRANK
UN,
PHILOSOPHICAL, POLITICAL, AND
I.ITFK ART.
Hominum rcrumque reperior .
This edition will be published
from the copies revised and cor
rected by Dr. Franktin, the cor
rections of which are in the band
waiting of the author, and may
be seen by any genilemanj in die
possession of the editor of the
Aurora.
The publication of the writ
ings of Dr. Franklin in a com
plete edition, was long contem
plated by the late Benj. Frank
lin Beache, bU grand-son who
ranscribed the copy which was
Revised to Mr. VV. Temple
Franklin, for publication. It was
originally designed to publish
that corrected edition in three
languages, & in England, Ger
many, France, and America,at
the same time ; this expectation
was frustrated bv the divisee (W
Temple Franklin who it is as
serted with great apparent proba
bility, sacrificed the work and
the honorable trust reposed in
him, for money, to die mortal ha
tred of the English Ministry a
geinst the deceased sage.
As soon as this fact was known,
the editor of the Aurora turned
his attention to the collection of
every paper and circumstance
which could tend to preserve and
do honor to the memory of a man
to whom particularly America
owes so much, and who, as he
was among the first who reflected
back lustre to his native country,
must continue to be ranked to
the. latest posterity, among its
greatest benafactors and orna
ments.
Early admiration of Dr. Frank
lin ; Educated in veneration and
reverence of his character A
other incidental- circumstances
not necessary to m pointed out,
have concurred to favor the col.
lection of the best materials tfvat
could be obtained, after the sa
crifice of the work by the devisee.
With some industry, and with
some expense the editor has pos
sessed himself, not only of the
copy with the corrections and
additions in Dr. Franklin’s band
writing ; but also of several arti
cles which hare never appeared
in any former collection, and of
some which have never appeared
in print.
Proposals would have appeared
long since in this city, hail not an
advertisement of an intended e
tfition, been published in the In,
glish prints ) the present editor
thought it might be possible that
the edition advertised was that
which Mr. Temple Franklin was
entrusted with ; but it n*\v ap
pears that the English edition is
only anew addition of the for
mer compilation with some small
and ’ tions ; but still deficient, on a
<:0 ■’ parison with the correct pa
in the hands of the editor,
i ie whole will now be carefully
<t> ued, and the work executed
in style, woithy of the great pa.
Sr rch of American liberty and
t.yjstie of the American press.
The additional papers will torm
at least a ‘volume,perhaps more—
the authentic papers already
printed, form three , and it is
intended to begin with the se
cond volume, which will be put
to press immediately, and to pub
lish the biography last, so that
*ucli additional particulars as
nav throw any useful light on the
life of this great man, may be en.
grafted on the memoir ; to oh.
tarn which and other important
materials, the editor will spare
neither pains nor expence.
