Book excerpt: Excerpt from Benjamin Franklin, or From Printing Office to the Court of St. James Not half of Franklin's merits have been told. He was the true father of the American Union. It was he who went forth to lay the foundation of that great design at Albany; and in New York he lifted up his voice. Here among us he appeared as the apostle of the Union. It was Franklin who suggested the Congress of 1774; and but for his Wisdom, and the confidence that Wisdom inspired, it is a matter of doubt whether that Congress would have taken effect. It was Franklin who suggested the bond Of the Union which binds these States from Florida to Maine. Franklin was the greatest diplomatist of the eighteenth century. He never spoke a word too soon; he never spoke a word too much; he never failed to speak the right word at the right season. The closing years of Franklin's life were so identified with the Union of the States, and the election and inauguration of Washington as the first President, that his biography becomes a fitting companion to the log cabin series.
