Works of the late Doctor Benjamin Franklin, consisting of his life written by himself; together with essays, humorous, moral, and literary, chiefly in the manner of the Spectator. In two volumes. Vol. I [II].
The mourning that followed Benjamin Franklin’s death in 1790 combined with the subsequent publication of his autobiography to stimulate editions of The Works of the Late Doctor Benjamin Franklin. These were not based on the 1779 edition edited by Benjamin Vaughan, and the text of these editions was not settled. A strange omission from the earliest of them in 1793 was The Way to Wealth. It was not included in British editions until 1796.
