Ben Franklin’s Birthday
January 17, 1702 marke^ Benjamin Franklin’s advent into this world.
In celebrating his birthday, many shall eulogize him for “Poor Richard’s Almanac,” and it, in itself, is enough to make him immortal in the minds of men. Some people will distinguish Franklin as the great statesman and diplomat probably wistfully longing for his counterpart today. Some few will extol Franklin, the printer, and others will recall his inventive genius.
