- Summary
- Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, was a printer, writer, scientist, and statesman. David Hall (1714-1772) was a Scottish-American printer, bookseller, and stationer. The printing partnership of Benjamin Franklin and David Hall of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania existed from January 1748 through January 1766. Work-Book no. 2 (1 volume) is an account book of the Philadelphia printing firm of Benjamin Franklin and David Hall, dated 1759 August 2-1766 January 30. Charges for printing include advertisements in the Pennsylvania Gazette, legal and business forms, political items, and proclamations and other notices for the Pennsylvania government. The volume also contains a list of jobs, 1782-1789, arranged alphabetically by first initial of the account name and chronologically within, presumably created by the successor firm of Hall and Sellers.
