Dr. Franklin.—Mr Charles Bowen of this city, has in press a collection of the Familiar Letters and Miscellaneous Papers of Benjamin Franklin, now the first time published. The work is edited by Mr J. Sparks, and will be published in one volume, 12mo. It is stated that the letters and other pieces in this original collection have been obtained from various sources. They have a value and interest not inferior to any of Dr Franklin's published writings. The letters in particular, amounting to more than one hundred that have never before been printed, possess the rare attraction of familiar unstudied communications of the author's sentiments and feelings to his nearest relation and most intimate friends.—Boston Traveller.
