Summary "Benjamin Franklin: Representative Selections, with Introduction, Bibliography, and Notes" by Frank Luther Mott and Chester E. Jorgenson is a scholarly collection of writings curated from the works of Benjamin Franklin, reflecting the multifaceted nature of his contributions to American thought. Likely written in the early 20th century, the selection aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of Franklin's intellectual legacy beyond his popular aphorisms and autobiography, encapsulating themes of education, politics, science, and journalism. Through a structured collection of historical documents, it illustrates Franklin's role as a thinker of the Enlightenment and his impact on various disciplines. The opening of this work introduces the reader to the complexity of Franklin’s character and achievements. It critiques the narrow view of Franklin as merely the practical American and emphasizes his broader contributions to literature, economics, and political theory. The editors set the stage for a deep dive into Franklin's writings and ideas, discussing influences from the Age of Enlightenment and laying out the thematic structure of the selections to follow. Readers are invited to explore not only Franklin’s famous quotes but also his extensive correspondence and lesser-known works, which provide a richer view of his thoughts on liberty, education, and societal progress.
