This wonderful, and historic book: Poor Richard: The Almanacks for the Years 1733 -1758 is a gem. Benjamin Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanacks, are a classic of American letters and were, in their day, an immensely popular and influential publication. In colonial America they were read by one out of every hundred people; in France alone they went through fifty-six editions. Many of the sayings and homilies in Poor Richard have become a permanent part of American folk wisdom.
