TABLE OF CONTENTS
1. TWO HOMECOMINGS IN THE LIFE OF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
|
| Title Page Photograph: Taken from a portrait of Franklin painted from life by David Martin in 1766, just about the time the house was finished. This is the way Franklin would have appeared at home while absorbed in matters of importance. A visitor in 1781 did indeed find him "in the exact posture in which he is represented by an admirable engraving from his portrait; his left arm resting upon the table, his chin supported by the thumb of his right hand." |
