Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin - Illustrated Edition
By Benjamin Franklin
This work has become one of the most famous and influential examples of an autobiography ever written. The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin is the traditional name for the unfinished record of his own life written by Benjamin Franklin from 1771 to 1790; however, Franklin himself appears to have called the work his Memoirs. Franklin's account of his life is divided into four parts, reflecting the different periods at which he wrote them.
