Franklin's Way to Wealth; or, Poor Richard Improved is a classic collection of practical wisdom and timeless advice on personal finance, industry, and self-improvement, compiled from the writings of Benjamin Franklin, one of America's most celebrated Founding Fathers. Originally published as a preface to Poor Richard's Almanack, this influential work distills Franklin's shrewd observations and maxims into a concise guide for achieving prosperity and success through diligence, frugality, and prudent living. Drawing from years of experience and the popular aphorisms of his alter ego, Poor Richard, Franklin offers readers a wealth of guidance on managing money, cultivating good habits, and navigating the challenges of everyday life. The book emphasizes the importance of hard work, thrift, and perseverance, encouraging readers to early to bed and early to rise, avoid debt, and make the most of their time and resources. Franklin's engaging style, wit, and common sense shine through as he addresses topics such as saving, investing, avoiding idleness, and the dangers of extravagance. More than just a manual for financial success, Franklin's Way to Wealth is a reflection on the virtues of self-discipline, honesty, and personal responsibility. Its memorable proverbs and practical lessons have inspired generations, making it a foundational text in the literature of self-help and personal development. Whether read for its historical significance or its enduring relevance, this book remains a valuable resource for anyone seeking to improve their circumstances and lead a more prosperous, fulfilling life.

FRANKLIN'S WAY TO WEALTH;
A GRAMMATICAL CATECHISM for the use of Schools, upon the plan of Lindley Murray.
"This manual is particularly adapted to the purposes of examination and catechetical instruction, and will be found of the utmost service in weekly grammatical enquiries."
THE PAGAN MYTHOLOGY of ancient Greece and Rome versified, accompanied with Philosophical Elucidations of the probable latent meaning of some of the Fables of the Ancients, on a theory entirely new. By R. ATKINS. Illustrated by twenty-two Cuts on Wood.
"This little work is intended as an easy Introduction to the Mythology of ancient Greece and Rome, and is particularly adapted to the use of Schools, being divested of the obscene allegories introduced by the ancients in their usual figurative style. It is certainly better calculated to convey a general idea of the subject, than any attempt of the kind which has yet fallen under our observation. The Poetical Illustrations are simple, and well calculated to the purpose of becoming a vehicle of instruction to juvenile minds, and the elucidations of the fables are plausible and ingenious."
INTRODUCTION.
Dr. Franklin, wishing to collect into one piece all the sayings upon the following subjects, which he had dropped in the course of publishing the Almanacks called "Poor Richard," introduces Father Abraham for this purpose. Hence it is, that Poor Richard is so often quoted, and that, in the present title, he is said to be improved. Notwithstanding the stroke of humour in the concluding paragraph of this address, Poor Richard (Saunders) and Father Abraham have proved, in America, that they are no common preachers. And shall we, brother Englishmen, refuse good sense and saving knowledge, because it comes from the other side of the water?
