policies, we doubt if he can fail, after reading Mr.
Morgan's book, to be a better American."--_Sacred Heart

_"Unquestionably the Final Edition" of_

The Life and Letters of Benjamin Franklin

Edited by ALBERT H. SMYTH, late Professor of English Language and
Literature in the Central High School, Philadelphia. In ten volumes
with twenty portraits.

_Special limited edition, $30.00 net._
_Eversley edition, $15.00 net._

"The volume closes with a copy of Franklin's will and a
series of remarkably complete indexes, rendering the
contents of all the volumes easily accessible from several
different points of view. The whole work bears evidences of
painstaking care and devotion to the task for its own sake.
It is incomparably the best and most complete edition of
Franklin's writings in existence, containing all that is
worth preserving, while in arrangement, editorial treatment,
and mechanical workmanship it leaves nothing to be desired.
The set is certain to have an irresistible attraction for
admirers of Franklin and for lovers of well-made
books."--_Record-Herald_, Chicago.

"'Franklin's writings are his best biography.' To few has it
been given to tell their own story so frankly and so fully,
and with shrewd wisdom and such unfailing humor. We have
already, on several occasions, described this excellent
edition of Franklin, the fullest, the most accurate that we
have ever had."--_Churchman._

"Some interesting notes regarding the twenty rare Franklin
portraits that have appeared in these volumes are given in
the preface to Volume X. The most interesting portrait is
the one appearing as the final volume frontispiece, a
photogravure of the painting that originally belonged to
Franklin, which was taken from his home in Philadelphia
