Benjamin Franklin's Book of Virtues -- Benjamin Franklin

This pocket-sized hardcover edition contains all thirteen "moral virtues" as Benjamin Franklin wrote them in his memoirs, first posthumously published in 1791. In the heart of this larger work--today known as <i>The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin</i>--he writes of the "bold and arduous Project of arriving at Perfection" that he set for himself as a young man. In this task for perfection, young Benjamin prepared a catalog of thirteen necessary or desirable virtues that he might strive to acquire by means of habit and daily practice. This Applewood Books edition includes a chart that Benjamin Franklin used to track his personal progress towards perfection.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Benjamin Franklin<br><b>Publisher:</b> Applewood Books<br><b>Published:</b> 09/27/2016<br><b>Pages:</b> 32<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.20lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 6.75h x 4.25w x 0.25d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781429093552
