Unread and unopened! (Hard to list as 'New' when it's 31 years old). There is a side to Benjamin Franklin we were not exposed to in school for better or worse, depending on your degree of prudery. There was a scurrilous dimension to Franklin's character that was eager to ignite the flames of controversy and keep them burning. Fart Proudly is a testament to the satirical rogue that lived peaceably inside the philosopher and statesman. It is also a tribute to the ideal of a free press in the United States. These are marvelous writings, pieces you will find yourself reading aloud to anyone who happens to be within fifty yards of you. They are witty, funny, and often scandalous, penned by one of the greatest Americans to live during the birth of this country. Included in this book are such classics as The Letter to a Royal Academy (which inspired the title), The Speech of Miss Polly Baker, On Choosing A Mistress, a number of drinking songs and other verses, Rides on Making Oneself Disagreeable, and a host of satires against England during the time just before the Revolutionary War.
