520 | |a This volume is a handwritten transcription of the second edition of La Science du Bonhomme Richard (1778) by a man identified only as “Morin.” Benjamin Franklin’s The Way to Wealth (1777) was published in France under the title La Science du Bonhomme Richard, ou moyen façile de payer les impôts. It became one of the most popular American works in France. The text, while completely in French, is very legible. Like similar editions, this book contains Franklin’s assortment of proverbs and observations on wealth, pride, and folly; as well as transcripts of Franklin’s examination before the House of Commons in February 1766; Mr. Penn’s examination at the bar of Parliament in November 1776; and extensive notes on and excerpts from Pennsylvania’s 1776 constitution. | ||
