Joakim Vujić’s book Istino i verojatno sredstvo obogatiti se i svoju kesu puniti (Istino i verojatno sredstvo obogatiti se i svoju kesu puniti, Buda, 1829) was so far little noticed in serbian book and literature history. It was found, however, that it is not his original text, but translation of famous Bejamin Franklin’s Father Abraham’s Speech (widely known as The Way to Wealth), which was translated by then in many world languages. Paper also deals with Franklin’s presence in serbian culture of the 19th century.
