The Silence Dogood Letters

LibriVox recording of The Silence Dogood Letters by Benjamin Franklin. Read in English by Patti Cunningham & Darcy Smittenaar. As a teenager, Benjamin Franklin apprenticed with his brother James at the shop where The New-England Courant was printed. Since James would not publish any of Benjamin's works, fifteen-year-old Benjamin sent letters to The New England Courant under the pseudonym Silence Dogood. A total of fourteen letters were sent, one each fortnight, between April and December of 1722. - Summary by Darcy Smittenaar For further information, including links to online text, reader information, RSS feeds, CD cover or other formats (if available), please go to the LibriVox catalog page for this recording.
