    Pearson Prentice Hall: Biographies Page 1 of 2 Biographies Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790) "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." —Historical Review of Pennsylvania , 1759 One of Benjamin Franklin's contemporaries, the French economist Anne-Robert-Jacques Turgot, once described Franklin's remarkable achievements in the following way: "He snatched the lightning from the skies and the sceptre from tyrants." Printer The son of a Boston soap- and candle-maker, Benjamin Franklin had little formal education, but he read widely and practiced writing diligently. He was apprenticed to his brother, a printer, at the age of 12. Later, he found work as a printer in Philadelphia. Courtesy Library of Congress By the time he was 20, Franklin and a partner owned a company that printed the paper currency of Pennsylvania. Franklin also published a newspaper and, from 1732 to 1757, his famous Poor Richard's Almanac . Public Service Franklin was always interested in improving things, from the way people lived lives to the way they were governed. In 1727, he founded the Junto, a society that debated questions of the day. This, in turn, led to the establishment of a library association and a volunteer fire company in Philadelphia. He was also instrumental in founding the University of Pennsylvania. In addition, Franklin spent time conducting scientific experiments involving electricity and inventing useful objects, such as the lightning rod, an improved stove, and bifocals. Franklin was also active in politics. He served as clerk of the Pennsylvania legislature and postmaster of Philadelphia, and he organized the Pennsylvania militia.

    ADDRESS: 400-36 S 3RD ST, AKA 301-17 LOMBARD ST Proposal: Construct parish hall Review Requested: Final Approval Owner: St. Peter's Church Applicant: David Ade, SMP Architects History: 1758; St. Peter's Church and Yard Individual Designation: 4/30/1957 District Designation: Society Hill Historic District, Significant, 3/10/1999 Staff Contact: Laura DiPasquale, [email protected] BACKGROUND: The property in question, 400-36 S. 3rd Street, is a large parcel that occupies much of the block bounded by Pine, S. 3rd, Lombard, and S. 4th Streets. St. Peter’s Church stands at the northeast corner of the site. St. Peter’s Cemetery occupies much of the northern half of the site. The southwest corner of the site, a surface parking lot, is being subdivided from 400-36 S. 3rd Street as 301-17 Lombard Street. St. Peter’s Church proposes to build a parish hall on the site. The overall property, 400-36 S. 3rd Street, was individually designated in 1957 and was included in the Society Hill Historic District as a Significant resource in 1999. Although part of the larger tax parcel at 400-36 S. 3rd Street at the time of designation, the surface parking lot at 301-17 Lombard Street is separately classified as Contributing for its archaeological potential, but not for any aboveground resources. The Historical Commission reviewed and approved a design for the parish hall in 2019, with the requirement that the property owner conduct an archaeological investigation. Since that time, the archaeological investigation has been completed and a new architect has taken over and revised the design of the parish hall.

Franklin’s interests were diverse and wide-ranging. Countless volumes have been written about him. The challenge for the One Book program was to choose works that would adequately capture the true essence of the man and his times.

This year’s theme will be “Three Books for One Founding Father.” The featured books are: • The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin by Benjamin Franklin (various editions) • Ben and Me by Robert Lawson (1939, Little, Brown & Company) • Franklin: The Essential Founding Father by James Srodes (2002, Regnery Publishing, Inc.) The Authors BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, author of The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, was born in 1706 and died in 1790 at the age of 84. He was an author, inventor, businessman, scholar, scientist, revolutionary, and statesman whose contributions to Philadelphia and the world are countless.

  • Dinner with Ben Franklin: the Origins of the American Philosophical Society1
    Dinner with Ben Franklin: The Origins of the American Philosophical Society1 LINDA GREENHOUSE President, American Philosophical Society Joseph Goldstein Lecturer in Law, Yale University e gather today to celebrate the American Philosophical Soci- ety’s 275th anniversary. But in fact, our story begins 16 years W earlier, in 1727, here in Philadelphia, and it is that origin story that is my focus this afternoon. The measure of my success in telling that story will be whether at the end of the next 20 minutes you will be left wishing—as I was when I first encountered this tale—that you could have been a guest at the young Benjamin Franklin’s table during those years when the notion of the APS was taking shape in his incredibly fertile mind. In 1727, Franklin was 21 years old and working in Philadelphia as the manager of a printing house. He invited those whom he called his “ingenious acquaintances” to join a “club of mutual improvement” that he called The Junto, from the Latin iungere, meaning “to join.”2 Members of the Junto met on Friday evenings in a local tavern. This was not a casual invitation. Here is how Franklin described the club in his Autobiography: The Rules I drew up, requir’d that every Member in his Turn should produce one or more Queries on any Point of Morals, Poli- tics or Natural Philosophy, to be discuss’d by the Company, and once in three Months produce and read an Essay of his own Writing on any Subject he pleased.
