These proverbs, which contained the wisdom of many ages and nations, I assembled and form'd into a connected discourse prefix'd to the Almanack of 1757, as the harangue of a wise old man to the people attending an auction. The bringing all these scatter'd counsels thus into a focus enabled them to make greater impression. The piece, being universally approved, was copied in all the newspapers of the Continent; reprinted in Britain on a broad side, to be stuck up in houses; two translations were made of it in French, and great numbers bought by the clergy and gentry, to distribute gratis among their poor parishioners and tenants. In Pennsylvania, as it discouraged useless expense in foreign superfluities, some thought it had its share of influence in producing that growing plenty of money which was observable for several years after its publication.

白话

富兰克林把这些来自许多时代和国家的谚语汇编成一篇连贯的文章,放在1757年年鉴前面,假托一位智慧老人对拍卖会上的人讲话。把散落的劝诫集中起来,让人印象更深。这篇文章大受欢迎,全大陆的报纸都转载,英国还印成单张供人贴在家里,法文出了两个译本,很多教士和绅士买来免费发给穷教区和佃户。在宾夕法尼亚,因为它劝人别乱花钱买外国奢侈品,有人认为它对后来几年钱多起来也有点功劳。

上下文

富兰克林自传中讲述他把《穷理查年鉴》谚语汇编成《致富之路》后的传播和影响。
