Benjamin Franklin: Question #1

In introducing his life and biography Franklin states “that were it offered to my choice, I should have no objection to a repetition of the same life from its beginning, only asking the advantages authors have in a second edition to correct some faults of the first.” Do you think he took this advantage in writing about his life? Did he re-write his life in a better light? Is it possible to write an autobiography without doing this?
