| First published by
Benjamin Franklin in 1732, “Poor Richard’s
Almanac” was a
guide to both weather forecasts and wise sayings. Franklin used the pseudonym
Richard Saunders in writing the text, which became an annual publication up
until 1757. Response to the almanac was tremendous, and it sold as many as
10,000 issues a year. Second only to the bible, “Poor Richard’s Almanac” was
one of the most popular and purchased publications in colonial America. The
almanac stressed the two qualities Franklin found to be essential to success,
industry and frugality. Benjamin Franklin wrote this in hope of having a
positive effect on the colonies.
