Description:
In Boston, Franklin was suspect as a royal official and the father of a colonial governor. In England he was vilified as an unfaithful servant of the Crown, and his position in the Post Office was endangered. But he continued on his course, unrepentant, and in the privacy of his study he resumed his habit of writing lengthy marginalia on the pamphlets he was reading. These comments are the nearest we can come to listening to the man in conversation.
