- 0:06Speaker 1: aphorisms one through ninety nine of six hundred seventy eight
- 0:11Speaker 1: Life of Benjamin Franklin opposite historic Old South Church in Boston.
- 0:17Speaker 1: On January sixth, seventeen o six, was born Benjamin Franklin.
- 0:23Speaker 1: Benjamin was the fifteenth child of Josiah Franklin, whose occupation
- 0:27Speaker 1: was that of a tallow chandler or a candle maker.
- 0:31Speaker 1: Business was not prosperous, and the Franklin family was reared
- 0:34Speaker 1: in very humble circumstances. As a child, Benjamin hungered for
- 0:39Speaker 1: books and knowledge. During the two years that his father
- 0:43Speaker 1: was able to send him to school, he showed remarkable
- 0:46Speaker 1: aptitude and industry, and rapidly outdistanced his fellow pupils. The
- 0:51Speaker 1: first book which Franklin read was Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress. By
- 0:56Speaker 1: trading and borrowing, he managed to secure other volumes. His
- 1:00Speaker 1: passion for reading was so intense that he attracted the
- 1:03Speaker 1: attention of a kind hearted Boston merchant, who gave the
- 1:06Speaker 1: boy access to his well stocked library. Franklin read only
- 1:11Speaker 1: books which could add to his education, and read them
- 1:14Speaker 1: with a thoroughness that extracted every bit of useful knowledge.
- 1:19Speaker 1: After leaving school, Franklin was apprenticed to his brother James
- 1:22Speaker 1: in the printing trade. His wage was very small, and
- 1:26Speaker 1: he had to live most frugally. James started a newspaper,
- 1:30Speaker 1: and Benjamin set type and distributed the sheets. One day,
- 1:34Speaker 1: he anonymously contributed some verses and apothegms, and was overjoyed
- 1:39Speaker 1: to find them accepted and published. When his brother discovered
- 1:43Speaker 1: that he was the contributor, an altercation broke out between
- 1:46Speaker 1: the two, due principally to the ill temper of James.
- 1:50Speaker 1: The quarrel was finally the cause of Benjamin's leaving Boston
- 1:54Speaker 1: and going to Philadelphia. In Philadelphia, Franklin obtained work with
- 1:59Speaker 1: kind a printer. His lodgings were found at the house
- 2:03Speaker 1: of mister Reed, with whose pretty daughter, Deborah, he promptly
- 2:07Speaker 1: fell in love. Missus Reed, however, counseled the two to
- 2:11Speaker 1: postpone the marriage until Franklin should earn sufficient to maintain
- 2:15Speaker 1: his own household. He was but eighteen years old at
- 2:18Speaker 1: this time. Sir William Keith, governor of the Province of Pennsylvania,
- 2:23Speaker 1: became acquainted with Franklin and offered to set him up
- 2:26Speaker 1: in the printing business. Franklin, of course accepted at Keith's suggestion,
- 2:32Speaker 1: he sailed to England to purchase an up to date outfit.
- 2:36Speaker 1: Arrived there, he found that Keith was without credit. His
- 2:39Speaker 1: beautiful plans went for naught, and he was stranded in
- 2:42Speaker 1: England without funds or prospects. It took him several years
- 2:46Speaker 1: to work his way back to America. When he returned,
- 2:50Speaker 1: the first news to greet Franklin was the marriage of Deborah,
- 2:53Speaker 1: reed to another man. At twenty two years of age.
- 2:57Speaker 1: Franklin had not made much progress toward the goal of
- 2:59Speaker 1: his life ambition, but nothing daunted. He applied himself with
- 3:03Speaker 1: greater industry, greater self sacrifice, and greater perseverance. He kept
- 3:08Speaker 1: plugging away at his trade of printer and entered into
- 3:11Speaker 1: business ventures with other men, all of which proved rapid failures. Finally,
- 3:17Speaker 1: he struck out for himself. Coincidentally, Deba Reid's husband died
- 3:22Speaker 1: and Franklin took her to wife. The young couple had
- 3:26Speaker 1: to live on close margin for a few years. When
- 3:29Speaker 1: Franklin was twenty seven years of age, he evolved the
- 3:32Speaker 1: idea which opened the road to fame and fortune. This
- 3:36Speaker 1: was Poor Richard's Almanac. The first number had a tremendous sale.
- 3:41Speaker 1: His homely trait to common sense sayings achieved wide popularity,
- 3:45Speaker 1: and each succeeding issue found more subscribers than its predecessor.
- 3:50Speaker 1: The general recognition and respect gained for Franklin through the
- 3:53Speaker 1: Almanac gave him the opportunity to enter public life. This
- 3:58Speaker 1: sphere of activity was greatly to his liking. He held
- 4:01Speaker 1: important offices and introduced many splendid reforms into the municipal government.
- 4:07Speaker 1: Franklin's pet project was an efficient institute of learning. When
- 4:11Speaker 1: he was thirty seven years old, his plans materialized into
- 4:15Speaker 1: the founding of an academy from which has grown the
- 4:18Speaker 1: Great University of Pennsylvania. The scientists of Europe were at
- 4:22Speaker 1: this time becoming aware of a mysterious force, which they
- 4:26Speaker 1: named electricity. Mushenbruick, a German, came forth with the discovery
- 4:31Speaker 1: of the leyden Jar. Franklin immediately devoted himself to a
- 4:35Speaker 1: study of electricity. The subject proved too interesting, so full
- 4:40Speaker 1: of possibilities, that he sold out his printing business in
- 4:43Speaker 1: order to devote his entire effort to the new field.
- 4:47Speaker 1: His business started on nothing brought the handsome price of
- 4:50Speaker 1: ninety thousand dollars. When Franklin declared his belief that electricity
- 4:55Speaker 1: and lightning were identical, the whole world left. He then
- 5:00Speaker 1: made his famous kite test and proved his theory. This
- 5:04Speaker 1: demonstration gained world recognition for him as a scientist and
- 5:07Speaker 1: won him many honors. The Colonies were now passing through
- 5:11Speaker 1: the turbulent period preceding the Revolutionary War. Franklin was a
- 5:16Speaker 1: foremost figure in public life and became the Commissioner of
- 5:19Speaker 1: the Colonies to England. The first cause for provocation on
- 5:24Speaker 1: the part of the Colonies was the Stamp Act, which
- 5:27Speaker 1: imposed an enormous tax on deeds, college degrees, and printed matter.
- 5:33Speaker 1: England sought to meet the expenses of the French Indian
- 5:36Speaker 1: War by this tax. Franklin's efficient representation and effective pleading
- 5:42Speaker 1: secured its repeal in seventeen sixty six. However, one year
- 5:47Speaker 1: later Parliament enacted a more obnoxious bill placing a heavy
- 5:51Speaker 1: duty on tea, glass and other commodities. Then it was
- 5:55Speaker 1: that certain indignant citizens of Boston held their Boston Tea
- 6:00Speaker 1: and brought upon the heads of the community they ill
- 6:03Speaker 1: considered hateful Boston Port Bill. The city was virtually put
- 6:08Speaker 1: into a state of seizure by the British under General Gage.
- 6:13Speaker 1: This final action precipitated the crisis, and the Revolutionary war
- 6:17Speaker 1: was on. Gage made his disastrous march to Conquord and
- 6:21Speaker 1: Lexington and bunker Hill ended in a triumph for American pluck.
- 6:26Speaker 1: Although in favor of settling the dispute by arbitration, Franklin
- 6:30Speaker 1: was as zealous a patriot as any. He was a
- 6:33Speaker 1: member of the First Continental Congress and helped frame the
- 6:36Speaker 1: Declaration of Independence. Later, he went to Paris as special
- 6:40Speaker 1: envoy to France for the Colonies. He was received with
- 6:44Speaker 1: great acclaim and was accorded many honors. His mission of
- 6:48Speaker 1: enlisting France's aid in the struggle was completely successful. Helped
- 6:53Speaker 1: by the money of France and by the valor of
- 6:55Speaker 1: such men as Lafayette, the revolution triumphed. After an absence
- 7:00Speaker 1: from America of nine years, Franklin returned. He was given
- 7:05Speaker 1: a royal reception. Although seventy seven years old now, he
- 7:09Speaker 1: still gave his country the best that was in him
- 7:12Speaker 1: until his death on April seventeenth, seventeen ninety At his burial,
- 7:17Speaker 1: twenty thousand persons gathered to do him respect and honor.
- 7:21Speaker 1: Franklin's life has been called the most interesting and the
- 7:24Speaker 1: most successful lived by any American, and the explanation is
- 7:29Speaker 1: found in the rule that guided him throughout his career
- 7:32Speaker 1: to go straight forward in doing what appears to be right,
- 7:36Speaker 1: leaving the consequences to providence. End of introduction. Now Here
