Branch of Science Scholars Nationality American Franklin, Benjamin (1706-1790) American printer, writer, politician, diplomat, and scientist. He invented bifocals and the Franklin stove. He also experimented with Leyden Jars In 1752, he flew a kite attached to a silk string in a thunderstorm, and showed that a metal key tied to the thread would charge a Leyden jar (Incidentally, the next two people who attempted the experiment were killed in the effort.) His experiments with Leyden jars showed that they discharged more easily if near a pointed surface. He thus suggested the use of lightning rods. He named the two kinds of electricity positive and negative, unfortunately assigning negative charge to what later was found to correspond to material with an excess of electrons References Franklin, B.

Franklin, Benjamin b. Boston, MA 17 Jan 1706 d. Philadelphia, PA 17 April 1790 author, printer, scientist (electricity, physics, oceanography, meteorology), diplomat Benjamin Franklin, in addition to his other pursuits, was interested in promoting spelling reform. In 1768, while living in London, he wrote A Scheme for a new Alphabet and a Reformed Mode of Spelling , a reasonably accurate phonetic system for spelling English which, published in 1779, greatly influence Noah Webster. His new phonetic alphabet consisted of 26 symbols: the conventional letters c j q w x , and y were eliminated as redundant and six new characters, were devised for sounds for which he thought there was no unambiguous orthographic representation; see Fig. 1 . The remaining letters of the traditional Roman alphabet were retained but their sound value was strictly defined according to the principle 'one symbol (or unique digraph), one sound'. Thus g could only represent the voiced velar stop, as in give, never the voiced palatal affricate, as in gentle . This affricate and its voiceless counterpart (as in chew ) he represented by clusters of stop plus palato-alveolar fricative (the fricative portion being the voiceless one in both cases). Other notable features of his system are: 1) the use of double vs. single vowel letters to stand for long vs. short vowels, e.g.

Benjamin Franklin Fascinating facts about Benjamin Franklin inventor of the lighting rod and bifocal glasses. Franklin, Benjamin (1706-1790), American printer, author, diplomat, philosopher, and scientist, whose many contributions to the cause of the American Revolution, and the newly formed federal government that followed, rank him among the country's greatest statesmen. Franklin was born on January 17, 1706, in Boston. His father, Josiah Franklin, a tallow chandler by trade, had 17 children; Benjamin was the 15th child and the 10th son. His mother, Abiah Folger, was his father's second wife. The Franklin family was in modest circumstances, like most New Englanders of the time. After his attendance at grammar school from age eight to ten, Benjamin was taken into his father's business. Finding the work uncongenial, however, he entered the employ of a cutler. At age 13 he was apprenticed to his brother James, who had recently returned from England with a new printing press. Benjamin learned the printing trade, devoting his spare time to the advancement of his education. His reading included Pilgrim's Progress by the British preacher John Bunyan

53. Franklin Text of a letter written to Priestly by benjamin franklin in 1774 . http://webserver.lemoyne.edu/faculty/giunta/franklin.html

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) from a letter to Joseph Priestley A Treasury of Science In compliance with your request, I have endeavoured to recollect the circumstances of the American experiments I formerly mentioned to you of raising a flame on the surface of some waters there. In 1765, The Reverend Dr. Chandler received a letter from Dr. Finley, President of the College in that province, relating the same experiment. It was read at the Royal Society, November 21st of that year, but not printed in the Transactions; perhaps because it was thought too strange to be true, and some ridicule might be apprehended, if any member should attempt to repeat it, in order to ascertain, or refute it. The following is a copy of that account. "A worthy gentleman, who lives at a few miles distance, informed me, that in a certain small cove of a mill-pond, near his house, he was surprised to see the surface of the water blaze like inflamed spirits. I soon after went to the place, and made the experiment with the same success. The bottom of the creek was muddy, and when stirred up, so as to cause a considerable curl on the surface, and a lighted candle held within two or three inches of it, the whole surface was in a blaze, as instantly as the vapour of warm inflammable spirits, and continued, when strongly agitated, for the space of several seconds. It was at first imagined to be peculiar to that place; but upon trial it was soon found, that such a bottom in other places exhibited the same phenomenon. The discovery was accidentally made by one belonging to the mill."

America's Real Religion, And Essays, By Gene Garman Provides primary sources for quotations from benjamin franklin, George Washington, Thomas Paine, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Abraham Lincoln regarding their personal religion and regarding religion's proper relationship to government. http://www.sunnetworks.net/~ggarman/

America's Real Religion The Book Now Online Please See Announcement Below and Essays by Gene Garman Gene Garman Reuben Weatherford, attorney, Kansas City, Missouri: "An excellent speaker." Stanley C. Grant, Ph.D., Topeka, Kansas: "An outstanding presentation and I would like to hear it again!" Martin A. Larson, Ph. D., Phoenix, Arizona: "Well written book." Joe Bailey Hyden, attorney, Dallas, Texas: "I have read it through twice, . . . no clearer explanation of the principle of separation of church and state." America's Real Religion The issue of religion and government is a major debate in the United States of America. Fortunately, the Supreme Court of the United States researched the religion clauses of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution long before it made decisions about such matters as required prayer ( Engel v. Vitale, 1962) and required Bible reading ( Abington v. Schempp, 1963). In 1879 ( Reynolds v. U.S. Everson v. Board ), and 1948 ( McCollum v. Board

Help Site Map Visit related sites from: Family Education Network Encyclopedia Franklin, Benjamin Printer and Writer The son of a tallow chandler and soapmaker, Franklin left school at 10 years of age to help his father. He then was apprenticed to his half brother James, a printer and publisher of the New England Courant, Pennsylvania Gazette. As owner and editor after 1730, he made the periodical popular. His common sense philosophy and his neatly turned phrases won public attention in the Gazette, in the later General Magazine, and especially in his Poor Richard's Almanack, which he published from 1732 to 1757. Many sayings of Poor Richard, praising prudence, common sense, and honesty, became standard American proverbs. Franklin also interested himself in selling books, established a circulating library, organized a debating club that developed into the American Philosophical Society, helped to establish (1751) an academy that eventually became the Univ. of Pennsylvania, and brought about civic reforms. His writings are still widely known today, especially his autobiography (covering only his early years), which is generally considered one of the finest autobiographies in any language and has appeared in innumerable editions.
