Years in France
After his move to France, Franklin continued to act as a real-estate speculator, gaining and losing a fortune.
By his will of 1788, Benjamin Franklin had bequeathed Temple his papers and correspondence, and appointed him as his literary heir. Temple edited and published editions of Franklin's writings, including his well-known Autobiography, published in London and Philadelphia, 1816–1819. He published six volumes of papers from 1817-1819. Temple Franklin's collected papers are held by the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia.
