Fart Proudly: Writings of Benjamin Franklin You Never Read in School

There was a bawdy, scurrilous dimension to Benjamin Franklin’s character that was all too 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. Included in the 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,
Rules on Making Oneself Disagreeable, and many other witty and humorous pieces.
