Abstract
extended to the printing business, politics, and international diplomacy. The phrase, often attributed to Walt Whitman incorrectly, “be curious, not judgmental,” should have come from Franklin since it defined his life. Hayes reveals this feature well even as he presents a Franklin that invites readers into the wider world of scholarship about the Founder. Such an invitation indicates that this book is by no means the last word on Franklin. But among all the books on this popular and charming figure who remains the quintessential rags-to-riches story in American folklore, Hayes’ volume is a reliable, readable, and well-executed introduction to Franklin in the wide variety of contexts in which he operated.
