Description
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. Included in this book are such classics penned by Franklin as The Letter to the Royal Academy (which inspired the title), The Speech of Miss Polly Barker, On Choosing a Mistress, a number of drinking songs and other verses, Rules on Making Oneself Disagreeable, and a host of satires against England during the time leading up to the Revolutionary War.
