THE STORY OF THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY
The account of how Franklin's Autobiography came to be written and of the
adventures of the original manuscript forms in itself an interesting story. The
Autobiography is Franklin's longest work, and yet it is only a fragment. The first
part, written as a letter to his son, William Franklin, was not intended for
publication; and the composition is more informal and the narrative more
personal than in the second part, from 1730 on, which was written with a view to
publication. The entire manuscript shows little evidence of revision. In fact, the
expression is so homely and natural that his grandson, William Temple Franklin,
in editing the work changed some of the phrases because he thought them
inelegant and vulgar.
Franklin began the story of his life while on a visit to his friend, Bishop Shipley,
at Twyford, in Hampshire, southern England, in 1771. He took the manuscript,
completed to 1731, with him when he returned to Philadelphia in 1775. It was left
there with his other papers when he went to France in the following year, and
disappeared during the confusion incident to the Revolution. Twenty- three pages
of closely written manuscript fell into the hands of Abel James, an old friend, who
sent a copy to Franklin at Passy, near Paris, urging him to complete the story.
Franklin took up the work at Passy in 1784 and carried the narrative forward a
few months. He changed the plan to meet his new purpose of writing to benefit
the young reader. His work was soon interrupted and was not resumed until 1788,
when he was at home in Philadelphia. He was now old, infirm, and suffering, and
was still engaged in public service. Under these discouraging conditions the work
progressed slowly. It finally stopped when the narrative reached the year 1757.
Copies of the manuscript were sent to friends of Franklin in England and France,
among others to Monsieur Le Veillard at Paris.
The first edition of the Autobiography was published in French at Paris in 1791.
It was clumsily and carelessly translated, and was imperfect and unfinished.
Where the translator got the manuscript is not known. Le Veillard disclaimed any
knowledge of the publication. From this faulty French edition many others were
printed, some in Germany, two in England, and another in France, so great was
the demand for the work.
