| 520 | _a"The Printer Boy; Or, How Benjamin Franklin Made His Mark" by William M. Thayer is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative explores the early life of Benjamin Franklin, detailing his childhood experiences, lessons learned, and the foundation upon which he built his future as a distinguished statesman and inventor. This book serves as an illustrative guide for youth, emphasizing the importance of character formation and industriousness through Franklin's early endeavors. The opening of the book sets the stage for young Benjamin Franklin at the age of seven, during a holiday when he is given some money to spend as he likes. Excited by the prospect, he quickly becomes enamored with a whistle he sees another boy playing with and impulsively spends all his pocket money to buy one. However, he soon learns a valuable lesson about the cost of his choices when his family points out that he paid far too much for his new toy, leading to reflections on how this theme of making wise decisions continues throughout life. This chapter not only introduces Benjamin as a curious and enthusiastic boy but also establishes a crucial motif regarding the value of thoughtful living that resonates throughout the book.
