Abstract:
AbstractBenjamin Franklin divides the mistakes he lists in the Autobiography into “errata” and “great errata.” He derived no benefit from the latter, but some benefit from the former. Examining Franklin's regret, or lack of regret, at these errata opens a window onto Franklin's understanding of morality. The laxity in his list of virtues and his flexibility with regard to conventional morals stem from the insight Franklin tells us he gained from these errata. For Franklin, or at least his persona in the Autobiography, there was no conflict between egoism and altruism, and he is therefore the e

ABSTRACTEdwin Jesse De Haven (1816–1865) led the first Grinnell expedition in search of the lost British explorer Sir John Franklin in 1850–1851. Since it was the ship's charismatic surgeon, Elisha Kent Kane, who wrote the popular account of the voyage, De Haven's achievements have generally been overlooked. De Haven joined the United States Navy when he was 13 and was master on the ill-fated Peacock during the United States Exploring Expedition (1838–1842) to the Antarctic under Charles Wilkes. He saw action in the Mexican War in 1848, and was serving under Matthew Fontaine Maury at the Naval

Abstract On June 28, 1832, Nathaniel Hawthorne penned a letter to Franklin Pierce describing plans for a Northern tour through New York into Canada, a trip that he was forced to postpone due to the 1832 cholera outbreak in Montreal. Hawthorne intended to gather tales for The Story Teller on this ill-timed trip, but the trip was never made and the collection of interlinked traveling tales never published. The author of this note paper considers the cholera epidemic's impact on Hawthorne's writing life and how it reverberates through her own writing of historical fiction during the 2020 coronavi

Abstract:
On 21 August 1912 Christine Ladd-Franklin, by then an established logician, wrote a letter to Bertrand Russell. He replied on 27 September 1912, followed by another letter on 16 November of that year. After a hiatus on his side in 1913–14, they exchanged letters again in 1915. The main topic of their conversations is solipsism: a theme that was important for Russell throughout his writings. In fact, in some of his works he famously mentions his encounters with Ladd-Franklin, hinting at a difference of opinions and her inability to see the inconsistency in what she claimed.

In 1975, the folklorist archie green wrote a short, pioneering article about a folk song leaflet produced by Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Resettlement Administration in 1936. Green suggested that the song sheet was “intrinsically interesting: a sharp pen-and-ink sketch, a traditional song both radical and humane in content, a singable musical transcription faithful to the folk idiom.” But, Green added, the fact that the song sheet had developed in a context of art and radical politics in the 1930s gave it additional meaning; “because something of the circumstances of its issue is known,” he sai

AbstractThis chapter focuses on Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Fireside Chats (1933–1944). It zooms in on the case of a president directly addressing the people, seeking to foreground their active participation. Roosevelt’s broadcasts, a series of thirty-one radio speeches heard by a majority of Americans between 1933 and 1945, transformed institutional tasks and obligations into a highly exciting conversation. In a world of competing political rhetoric and much division, and in the middle of the Great Depression, these radio chats put the power of change in every American’s hands by making them feel

These words were painful to write. They haunt me, and have done so my entire academic career. Ok, that is not entirely true. I made it through my first two years of college on pure bluster, but once I needed to write, to do more than toss off a handful of pages in a single night, I became haunted. I spent most of the second half of college and, frankly, all of my graduate career feeling like I had skipped a year of schooling.

Abstract:
Benjamin Franklin wrote his satirical essay “Rules by Which a Great Empire May Be Reduced to a Small One” to highlight how horribly the English Parliament was treating the colonies. It was published in the journal Public Advertiser in September 1773. At the time he wrote this, Franklin was in England as a colonial representative. The colonists had been growing increasingly unhappy with Parliament not allowing them to have a voice as to how they should be governed. England had been tightening the reins on its colonies, and the colonists resented this. Franklin wrote this essay to illustrate to

Abstract Chapter 8 tells an incomplete story. Though Benjamin Franklin established an agreement with John Wilcox to borrow books from the Green Dragon, none of the dozens of books that Franklin read are known. The books that Samuel Palmer printed during Franklin’s employment are known and, therefore, provide an indication of the books he encountered in London. He brushed up on the classics and read poetry, history, philosophy, and science. While at Palmer’s, Franklin wrote a work on free will and determinism, A Dissertation on Liberty and Necessity, Pleasure and Pain, which he distributed as a

Chapter 3 traces Benjamin Franklin’s early development—purchasing equipment to open his own print shop and editing a Philadelphia newspaper. His work provided him with an outlet for advice about living a moral life. Sometimes he wrote under pseudonyms, such as Silence Dogood, and reprinted material that reinforced his own efforts to live a good life, creating a Plan for Attaining Moral Perfection. The chapter discusses Jonathan Edwards, whose views were substantially in agreement with Franklin’s, though much of Franklin’s moralism attracted criticism from twentieth-century writers such as D. H

To the student of history, it may seem as though almost everything Benjamin Franklin wrote was a milestone in some way. For instance, in the sciences, he conducted groundbreaking research in electricity, identified and charted the Gulf Stream, proved that lead was poisonous and was sickening those who worked with it, and even worked out new ship rigging that took better advantage of the wind. In his writings on society and politics, it is hard to find a work without at least a nugget of insight into how people govern their personal and public affairs and how they might better govern themselves

Chapter 11 outlines Franklin’s return to America in time to offer advice to the new government and plans for a new constitution.

In some respects, it carried on Puritan conventions of introspection in journals and diaries. At the end of his life, friends and family pressed him to make a Christian profession. His well-lived life, with its work ethic and emphasis on self-help, he believed, was sufficient. The chapter also discusses his anti-slavery views, his friend
