Abstract

This is a Scottish imprint of part of Benjamin Franklin’s Poor Richard’s Almanack. Written in the first person by Benjamin Franklin, aka Richard Saunders, the author presents a collection of quotations and selections from his own almanacs as the speech an old man who, upon being asked his opinion on taxes, delivers an oration on the importance of industry and thrift using passages from Poor Richard. This is followed by three moralizing tales on the virtues of temperance, prudence, and frugality, and the evils of drinking, indiscretion, and crime.
