"A marvel, both of diligent research and of Franklin's fertile and
opportunistic imagination."--Books & Culture
--
"A well-researched and engaging study of Franklin's contributions
to early American journalism and should appeal to a broad audience.
It is a valuable addition to the literature on Franklin and to
journalism in the colonial era."--The South Carolina Historical
Magazine
"Frasca's welcome book shows just how Franklin made himself into a
printing empire, and stresses (just as Franklin would have wanted)
how it was done as part of his effort at improving humanity."--The
Times of Acadiana
"Ralph Frasca's book surprises and delights. Frasca takes us into a
part of Franklin's world that has been often studied, his world of
print, but not with an eye to the ways in which Franklin operated
within a complex network of printers to pursue his quest for
personal success and the dissemination of virtue."--Journal of the
Early Republic
