Excerpt from The Life of Benjamin Franklin Benjamin Franklin came of a race of blacksmiths, who, in the town of Ecton, England, during three centuries, practiced their manly trade. Doubtless his intensely practical turn of mind was largely inherited from his ancestors. In his character, the imaginative and poetical had but little play, far less than with that truly typical American, Abraham Lincoln; but his strong and brilliant common sense amounted almost to genius. "He had," says an eminent writer, "an intellect of a very high order, - inventive, capacious, many-sided, retentive," and "was a man of the most uncommon common sense." Lord Brougham calls him "one of the most remarkable men of our times as a politician, or of any age as a philosopher."
