The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin is the traditional name for the unfinished record of his own life written by Benjamin Franklin from 1771 to 1790; however, Franklin himself appears to have called the work his Memoirs.There are actual breaks in the narrative between the first three parts, but Part Three's narrative continues into Part Four without an authorial break. Despite authoring the constituent parts of his autobiography separately and over the course of multiple decades, Franklin intended his composition to stand as a unified piece of work. According to editors J. A. Leo Lemay and P. M. Zall, Franklin began writing part one of the autobiography in July or August 1771, which is also when he most likely authored an outline for the whole work. Over a decade later in 1782, Franklin was prompted by leading Philadelphia merchant Abel James to continue writing the autobiography.

John Bigelow (1817 – 1911) was an American lawyer, statesman and a historian who edited the complete works of Benjamin Franklin. After the war's conclusion, he returned to New York, where he assisted his old friend Samuel J. Tilden in opposing the corruption that flourished in New York City under William Magear Tweed. He carried out Tilden's wishes, over several years, to develop, design, and establish the New York Public Library He published an edition of The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin in 1868 and The Life of Samuel J. Tilden in 1895.
