Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) ran away from home at age 17 to work as a printer in Philadelphia and set off to London shortly thereafter. He worked as a typesetter near the Church of St Bartholomew-the-Great in Smithfield. The asbestos purse he gave Hans Sloane has remained in the latter’s collection to the present. He returned to America in 1726. Franklin became a noted scientist, writer, diplomat, statesman, and Founding Father of the United States of America.
