PREFACE.
The writings of no man among the Christian Brotherhood have been so universally popular as those of Benjamin Franklin, save the extended writings of Alexander Campbell. Franklin’s volumes of Sermons, Debates and Tracts, together with his miscellaneous writings, have for many years been in general demand, and have met with ready sale.
No excuse is offered for this volume, save that of public demand. The public demanded the volume, and it is, therefore, submitted.
