"'Franklin's writings are his best biography.' To few has it been given to tell their own story so frankly and so fully, and with shrewd wisdom and such unfailing humor. We have already, on several occasions, described this excellent edition of Franklin, the fullest, the most accurate that we have ever had."--_Churchman._
"Some interesting notes regarding the twenty rare Franklin portraits that have appeared in these volumes are given in the preface to Volume X. The most interesting portrait is the one appearing as the final volume frontispiece, a photogravure of the painting that originally belonged to Franklin, which was taken from his home in Philadelphia during the British occupation, and after the lapse of 130 years was presented to the United States by Earl Gray. It was painted in London in 1759 by Benjamin Wilson, and is now in the White House at Was.h.i.+ngton."--_Boston Transcript._
