Review

This insightful and elegantly written book is a joy to read and highly recommended.

(Choice 2008)

A learned, wise, and well-written account... for giving readers one of the very finest introductions to this remarkable American's thought, we must thank Lorraine Pangle.

(Ralph Ketcham Claremont Review of Books 2008)

An excellent piece of work, gracefully written, as befits a work on the printer and master-writer himself. Its insight into Benjamin Franklin's thought is fresh and penetrating. Among the distinctive features of this work is its running comparison of Franklin with Socrates and with the high tradition of political philosophy. Pangle digs unusually deeply into Franklin's writings and the history of his doings.

(Steven Forde, University of North Texas )

Smith Pangle... Brings an impressive knowledge of philosophy and Western intellectual traditions.

(Carla Mulford Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography )
