Condorcet, Marquis de. _eloge de M. Franklin, lu a la seance publique de l'Academie des Sciences, le 13 Nov., 1790...._ Paris: 1791. (Both a eulogy, and an interpretation of _why_ France, as representative of the Enlightenment, eulogized the Philadelphia tradesman. By the most sublime of the _philosophes_.)

Cook, E. C. _Literary Influences in Colonial Newspapers, 1704-1750._ New York: 1912. (Trenchant a.n.a.lysis of Franklin's indebtedness to Addison and Steele--especially in the _Dogood Papers_--the character of the _New England Courant_, advertis.e.m.e.nts of books in _Pennsylvania Gazette_, etc. ”Benjamin Franklin was the only prominent man of the period who deliberately attempted to spread the knowledge and love of literature among his countrymen.”)

Crane, V. W. ”Certain Writings of Benjamin Franklin on the British Empire and the American Colonies,” _Papers of the Bibliographical Society_, XXVIII, Pt. 1, 1-27 (1934). (Newly identified Franklin papers more than double existing canon. He becomes ”the chief agent of the American propaganda in England, especially between 1765 and 1770.”

New canon promises to ”illuminate the development of Franklin's political ideas.” Very significant.)

c.u.mston, C. G. ”Benjamin Franklin from the Medical Viewpoint,” _New York Medical Journal_, Lx.x.xIX, 3-12 (Jan. 2, 1909). (Useful survey.)

Duniway, C. A. _The Development of Freedom of the Press in Ma.s.sachusetts._ Cambridge, Ma.s.s.: 1906. (Chapter VI includes account of James Franklin and the _New England Courant_.)

Eddy, G. S. ”Dr. Benjamin Franklin's Library,” _Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society_, N. S. x.x.xIV, 206-26 (Oct., 1924). (This indefatigable scholar has ascertained the t.i.tles of 1350 volumes in Franklin's library. This survey article does not list the t.i.tles.)

Eliot, T. D. ”The Relations Between Adam Smith and Benjamin Franklin before 1776,” _Political Science Quarterly_, x.x.xIX, 67-96 (March, 1924). (Exhaustive doc.u.mentary data which fails to establish specific and incontrovertible Franklin influence on Smith.)

”Excerpts from the Papers of Dr. Benjamin Rush,” _Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography_, XXIX, 15-30 (Jan., 1905). (Includes ”Conversations with Franklin,” pp. 23-8: Franklin terms Latin and Greek the ”quackery of literature”; is alleged to have reprobated the Pennsylvania Const.i.tution of 1776, in that it placed ”the Supreme power of the State in the hands of a Single legislature.” Other interesting sidelights.)

Farrand, Max, ed. _The Records of the Federal Convention of 1787._ 3 vols. New Haven: 1911. (Records show Franklin as a sober moderator: when rival factions tended to render the convention impotent, he said, ”When a broad table is to be made, and the edges <of planks=”” do=”” not=”” fit=””> the artist takes a little from both, and makes a good joint.”)
