Benjamin Franklin

Poor Richard's Almanack (sometimes Almanac) was published from 1732 to 1758, and provided useful information to its readers and a profit to Mr. Franklin.

The Declaration of Independence was signed in Philadelphia, in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Benjamin Franklin kept track of his progress toward a virtuous life with a virtue chart. He carried around a small book of 13 charts and tried to live his life in a very virtuous manner.

Benjamin Franklin was born on January 17, 1706 and died on April 17, 1790. Benjamin Franklin would have been 84 years old at the time of his death.

The year 2016 was the 310th anniversary of his death.

Benjamin Franklin was using a quote that has been around for many years, possibly dating back to early Roman times. Means: We all make mistakes, need to seek forgiveness and to persist devilish means to not atone for mistakes but keep making them.

His parents sent him to grammar school to eventually go into the church in some way. Though he did well at most things, he failed Math. He was later taken out of school, at age ten, to help his father as a candle and soap maker.

Farming was the first peaceful way to survive and I suppose if you had meat all the time you died younger and become a dullard with all that bad cholesterol.I also remember healing herbs cross over into farming also.

Benjamin Zephaniah did not have any children. He was married to a woman named Amina for 12 years but they divorced in 2001.

Banneker's grandfather was named Banna ka. Scholars believe that he was of a royal family, likely from Senegambia or Mali.

Banneker's father was an ex-slave named Robert, who took the Banna ka name which morphed into what we now know as Banneker.

Banneker's grandmother was a white indentured servant name Molly Welsh from England. She had purchased Banna ka, fell in love with him, and married. This union produced a child named Mary Welsh. Mary Welsh married Robert, and this union produced the mathematical/astronomic genius Benjamin Banneker.

In addition to his mathematical gifts, Banneker is noted for publishing almanacs between 1792 and 1797. He assisted in a small way to the survey of the territory that would become Washington, D.C.

He is noted to have written to then Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson showing Jefferson his almanac as "proof" that blacks were intellectually equal to whites. Jefferson was more or less aloof but sent a copy of Banneker's almanac to the head of the Parisian scientific community.

as near perfect as possible

No. Franklin just proved that lightening was natural in nature with his kite experiment, but he did invent the lightening rod. Houses caught fire in the 1700's by lightening stikes, so he invented the lightening rod to be put on the roof of a house so it would get hit instead of the house. Edison will invent the light bulb in the late 1800's.

He just sat in his office and watched it shaking his head

because lightning will strike it

The original lightning rods were heavy iron, and their wires were often damaged by strikes. Modern lightning rods and surge arresters use lighter materials, but these are designed to withstand the high temperatures caused by the electric discharge.

Benjamin Franklin's weaknesses could have been his love for America and the freedom of us all. But mostly i'd say it was his family(ies). Deborah and his children in the United States, His girlfriend and "step-daughter" in London and His mystery woman over in France.

yes there is its called a picture book of Benjamin Franklin

They were both Americans, born in America. They were born within three years of each other. They both wrote Pamphlets, articles, and essays. I am actually writing an essay on the similarities and differences between these two men, and there are many differences as well as similarities: Parents had very different occupations, one a soapmaker, the other a preacher. They themselves led totally different lives: Jonathan, a preacher and missionary, Benjamin, a scientist and Founding Father of America.

1746 was a busy time in Benjamin Franklin's life. He began his electricity experiments, but also published the pamphlet 'Plain Truth" extolling the virtues of a disciplined defense.

because it was so long and detailed

The 312 was part of a series (310 series) of rifles produced between 1940-1969. The name Benjamin Franklin was a marketing gimmick to help sell the rifle. Franklin had nothing to do with it. The series included the model 310, 312 and 317. Please state the current condition of the rifle to get an estimate of value. Is it still working? Is it in Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good or Excellent condition. Re-post you question with this information and I will try to give you an estimate of value. Make sure you put the question in the "Air gun and Air rifle" category.

Yes, Ben Franklin suffered from gout in his later years.

At least 200,000 books are published every year. Including novels, picture books, reference books and many other book genres.
