A chronology of Benjamin Franklin.

I'd like to get acquaintance you with a chronology of Benjamin Franklin in nutshell.

1706 17 Jan. Born in Boston
1724-6 Once arrived in London, he works for two prominent printing houses.
1726-7 Forms the Junto, a club of intellectually ambitious young tradesmen.
1728-32 Establishes his own printing press; takes over publication of the Pennsylvania Gazette; son William born out of wedlock.
1731-45 Involved in creation of the American Philosophical Society; Library Company
1746-51 Performs experiments on electricity; proposes establishment of the Philadelphia Academy (now University of Pennsylvania)
1754 Attends Albany Congress to form a colonial union in face of imminent war with French Canada.
Enjoy! To be continued.

The book i'm reading is ''Autobiography and other writings'' by Benjamin Franklin.
He may not appear at first to be a literary figure in the same way that Emerson, Stowe, or Stevens. Instead, Franklin seems like a historical figure, known for his discoveries about electricity and his political activities during the American revolution and later. The most important stage of his education,made him"a tolerable English Writer''.franklin was a writer by profession to an extent equalled by no other other colonial American. His advancement in business, his career as a statesman, even his acclaim as a scientist depended upon his writing abilities.
I'm enjoing reading this book because it's about a significant person. The book is full of new words, but it's ok.
