		Franklin makes a big deal out of his "errata" in his life, the mistakes that he made and how they helped him learn and become a better person.
		I think at the time Franklin was overwhelmed because he was starting to become very successful and didn't realize that their were still consequences for his actions when he made bad decisions.
		Franklin was not afraid to say he was wrong.

	BrothersJudd.com - Review of Edmund Morgan's Benjamin Franklin
		Morgan briefly sketches out Franklin's early life, his work as a printer and publisher, his involvement in an incredible array of civic improvements in Philadelphia, and the experiments with electricity that won him his world-wide fame.
		On returning home, Franklin indeed realized that the situation on the ground was too far gone for his hopes to prevail and he too became an ardent advocate of independence.
		Franklin, even at that early date, understood that America was destined to be the "greater" nation--mostly for reasons of demographics and his prescience about America's population growth.

	Observations Part 5 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Books of two William Winthrops are to be found on the shelves at Alleghany, Riders Dictionary, London, 1659, which belonged to John's brother William in 1765, and an imperfect copy of Cotton Mather's Magnalia Christi, London, 1702, which James's brother William gave to the college at Meadville in 1822.
		Possibly, Franklin suggested that Winthrop might be interested in seeing the work and would, after leafing through it, be so kind as to send it on to its destination.
		Since Franklin, while he was in England, did continue to send his colleague in science various publications as they came out, it seems reasonable to assume that Franklin's Of the Stilling of Waves by means of Oil, London, 1774, was a gift, although it bears no inscription.

	BrothersJudd.com - Review of Edmund Morgan's The Puritan Dilemma: The Story of John Winthrop
		Winthrop understood the danger of Williams's ideas, that they might/must lead one to keep withdrawing further and further from the world and burrowing deeper into oneself, in the ultimately mistaken belief that only one's own vision of God's truth is pure.
		Winthrop saw what few men in any age have learned, that the foreign policy of even the holiest state must support one evil in order to suppress a worse one.
		Winthrop had frequent cause to regret the increased power of the deputies, for the zeal of the deputies and sometimes even of the magistrates against all outlanders was a constant handicap to him in handling foreign affairs.

		Benjamin Franklin may be seen as a transitional figure.
		In other ways, he was on the cutting edge of social and economic change in the colonies.
		Nonetheless, Franklin's values may be called "modern," in the sense that they form the foundation for work and many other aspects of people's lives in twentieth century, industrial capitalist societies.

	Volume A: American Literature to 1820 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		In contrast to Puritan voices, Franklin comes across as quite modern: when he sees inconsistency in his own thinking, or a fault in his moral nature—usually having to do with his efficiency or his interactions with his fellow citizens—he pragmatically sets out to correct it; and if his success is incomplete, he seems unfazed.
		Franklin, de Crèvecoeur, Jefferson, Tyler, Stockton, Paine, and Equiano all seem at times to be struggling against certain social expectations and cultural habits prevalent in their times.
		Choose a moment from Winthrop, Franklin, or Jefferson that seems particularly “male” in its perspective, then locate moments in Bradstreet, Rowlandson, Rowson, Stockton, Murray, Morton, or Wheatley that seem to reject or question that style or mentality.

		Dividing his work into twenty-four essays with sections on 'New Englanders,' 'Southerners,' and 'Revolutionaries,' Morgan examines the history of the American colonies from the arrival of the first settlers in 1607 to the radical changes brought forth by the American Revolution.
		Filled with illuminating discussions of American leaders, including Winthrop, Franklin, Washington, Jefferson, and Madison, the book is extraordinary in its range—from the (quite lusty) sex lives of the Puritans to the witch trials in Salem and the corrosive effects of slavery on the soul of Virginia.
		Third, the books that comprise the focus of the individual essays are among some of the most significant published in the field.

	American Philosophy [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		The American Declaration of Independence as well as the United States Constitution, with its initial amendments, better known as the Bill of Rights, was drafted at this time, with their emphasis on religious toleration.
		Though including explicit references to God, these thinkers tended to commit themselves in their writings less to Christianity per se and more to deism, the view of God as creator of a world governed by natural laws (which they believed were explicated for the most part by Newton) but not directly involved with human action.
		For example, as early as 1730 and as late as 1790 Franklin spoke of God as world-creator and Jesus as providing a system of morality but with no direct commitment to the divinity of Jesus or to any organized church.
