Summary: "Benjamin Franklin, Self-Revealed, Volume 1 (of 2)" by William Cabell Bruce is a biographical and critical study written in the early 20th century. This work primarily draws from Franklin's own writings to explore his multifaceted character, life, and enduring contributions to society, illuminating themes such as moral standing, community service, and personal relationships.
