Excerpt from Biographical Memoir of the Late Franklin Bache, M.D: Prepared at the Request of the American Philosophical Society, and Read at the Society, June 16, 1865 The members of the American Philosophical Society need not to be informed that Dr. Bache was the great-grandson of its founder and first President, Dr. Benjamin Franklin.
