Edition Notes
"Despite the title, this work is really a compilation from various sources of documents relating to America in some way and assumed a publication life of its own apart from the separate printings of B. Franklin's 'Science.'"--Echeverria & Wilkie.
"La science du Bonhomme Richard" was translated by Antoine-François Quétant. "Poor Richard's speech had originally appeared in 1757 as 'Father Abraham's speech to a great number of people at a vendue of merchant-goods,' and came to be known as 'The way towealth.'"--Echeverria & Wilkie.
Footnote (p.17) gives author of "Testament de M. Fortuné Ricard" as Mathon de La Cour (born at Lyons), and states that it had been for a long time attributed to Franklin.
Bookseller's advertisements, foot of p.35.
