* Conner, Paul W. Poor Richard's Politicks ( 1965 ) – analyzes Franklin's ideas in terms of the Enlightenment and republicanism

Its opening sentence: " Heaven helps those who help themselves ", provides a variation of " God helps them that help themselves ", the oft-quoted maxim that also appeared previously in Benjamin Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanac ( 1733 – 1758 ).

Franklin's Poor Richard, like Bickerstaff, claimed to be a philomath and astrologer and, like Bickerstaff, predicted the deaths of actual astrologers who wrote traditional almanacs.

However, Franklin's endearing character of " Poor " Richard Saunders, along with his wife Bridget, was ultimately used to frame ( if comically ) what was intended as a serious resource that people would buy year after year.

At fourteen, he read the The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin and became inspired by Franklin's rags-to-riches tale.

Part One of the Autobiography is addressed to Franklin's son William, at that time ( 1771 ) Royal Governor of New Jersey.

It is apparent that Franklin intended to cover more ground, because an outline of the Autobiography written by him and copied by Henry ends with a reference to the Treaty of Paris, which Franklin helped negotiate, so the obvious inference is that Franklin's death prevented his proceeding further with the Autobiography.

The Autobiography remained unpublished during Franklin's lifetime.

The first three parts of the Autobiography were first published together ( in English ) by Franklin's grandson, William Temple Franklin, in London in 1818, in Volume 1 of Memoirs of the Life and Writings of Benjamin Franklin.

Franklin's text was the standard version of the Autobiography for half a century, until John Bigelow purchased the original manuscript in France and in 1868 published the most reliable text that had yet appeared, including the first English publication of Part Four.

This, the most accurate edition of all so far published, served as a basis for Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography: A Norton Critical Edition and for the text of this autobiography printed in the Library of America's edition of Franklin's Writings.

Franklin's Autobiography has received widespread praise, both for its historical value as a record of an important early American and for its literary style.

Using " Photo 51 " ( the X-ray diffraction results of Raymond Gosling and Rosalind Franklin of King's College London, given to them by Gosling and Franklin's colleague Maurice Wilkins ), Watson and Crick together developed a model for a helical structure of DNA, which they published in 1953.

When it became clear to Wilkins and the supervisors of Watson and Crick that Franklin was going to the new job, and that Linus Pauling was working on the structure of DNA, they were willing to share Franklin's data with Watson and Crick, in the hope that they could find a good model of DNA before Pauling was able.

During the early 1950s, while Watson and Crick were determining the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid ( DNA ), they made use of unpublished X-ray diffraction images taken by Rosalind Franklin, shown at meetings and shared with them by Maurice Wilkins, and of Franklin's preliminary account of her detailed analysis of the X-ray images included in an unpublished 1952 progress report for the King's College laboratory of Sir John Randall.
