The first three parts of the "Autobiography" were first published together (in English) by Franklin's grandson, William Temple Franklin, in London in 1818, in Volume 1 of "Memoirs of the Life and Writings of Benjamin Franklin." W. T. Franklin did not include Part Four because he had previously traded away the original hand-written holograph of the "Autobiography" for a copy that contained only the first three parts. Furthermore, he felt free to make unauthoritative stylistic revisions to his grandfather's autobiography, and on occasion followed the translated and retranslated versions mentioned above rather than Ben Franklin's original text.
