The thirty-first volume of the collected writings and correspondences of the American statesman, ambassador, and Founding Father Benjamin Franklin Volume 31 of The Papers of Benjamin Franklin is the fourth volume in the sequence dealing with Franklins tenure as sole minister to the French court, and it is the ninth of a projected twenty volumes covering Franklins years in France. Franklins public life was exceptionally busy. Among his duties were supervising the collection of arms and uniforms for the American army and conducting an inquiry into the conduct of Captain Pierre Landais at the Battle off Flamborough Head. This volume gives much information about Franklins other interests as well, ranging from a fascinating tailors bill to a lengthy memorial describing his western land ventures. Five of his bagatellesincluding The Whistle and The Elysian Fields, composed for the two most important women in his French life, Mme. Brillon and Mme. Helvtiusappear here. Students of a variety of subjects, from cryptography to the history of printing, will find material of interest in this richly varied collection of letters and documents. Volume 31 is a major addition not only to Franklin studies but also to the study of early American history. Publication of this volume was assisted by a grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission
