life. Read the apt and brilliant comments of Dr. Robinson.
One of the most valuable chapters of this remarkable book is that which contains a reprint of a famous letter by Benjamin Franklin, known as “Advice to a Young Man on Choosing a Mistress.” Few people are aware that this letter exists. The United States Government is said to have paid $30,000 for the original. This Secret Franklin Letter, in the estimation of many people, is alone worth the price of the entire book.
