Franklin, Benjamin, 1706-1790
Fart proudly : writings of Benjamin Franklin you never read in school / compiled & edited by Carl Japikse. - Berkeley, Calif. : Columbus, Ohio : Frog, Ltd. ; Enthea Press, [2003] - 128 pages ; 22 cm
There is a side to Benjamin Franklin we were not exposed to in school. There was a bawdy, scurrilous dimension to Franklin's character that was all too eager to ingnite the flames fo controversy -- and keep them burning. This book is a testament to the satirical rogue that lived peaceably inside the philosopher and statesman. It is also tribute to the ideal of a free press in the United States. They are witty, funny, and often scandalous, penned by one of the greatest Americans to live during the exciting times of the birth of this country.
