About this title: Benjamin Franklin was one of the greatest American minds of the 18th century, and his goal was to be a doer of good and to live a useful life. His dedication to principles of self-improvement and his belief that these principles could be beneficial to all led him in 1760 to "propose ... a little work ... to be called The Art of Virtue".
Though Franklin never completed the project, editor George L. Rogers has culled Franklin's writings to assemble the book he might have written. The Art of Virtue is arranged according to twelve principles which guided Franklin's life, including Franklin's ...

"I find Benjamin Franklin amazing. He began working as a printer apprentice at the age of 12. He was a self made man who believed that you take one bad habit at a time, work on it for two weeks and begin another. He was clever, witty, smart, a hard worker, intuitive and I liked his idea of his group who met and discussed current issues, ideas, philosophy and books."
"Reflecting upon Ben Franklin's personal letters, whether they be in his autobiography, or in Fart Proudly, or here in the Art of Virtue, (which Ben didn't complete himself) I am always left with a potent desire to improve my life, and the lives of those around me.
Read the Art of Virtue! Own a copy and keep it for reference."
