Show "BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, ANOTHER INFIDEL." As Col. [Colonel] R. G. Ingersoll appears to be trying to appropriate our old and esteemed friend, Benjamin Franklin, as a recruit for his infidel doctrine, let me call his attention to the following epitaph, for himself, written by himself: The body of Benjamin Franklin, Printer, Lies here, food for worms. Like the cover of an old book, Its contents torn out and stripped Of its lettering and gilding, But it will (As he believed) Appear again, in a New and more beautiful Edition, corrected and Amended by THE AUTHOR. -- Cor. Inter? Ocean? |
