Very inspiring a man of so many talents but very humble and always looked out for the rebels fighting for freedom and justice thinking about the next generation as well. He was not bitter about women but pushed them for bringing out the best in them like Liberty Prescott.

Your site is very informative and I have enjoyed it very much. Thank you for putting it together. I'm looking for a quote from Ben Franklin that has to do with his opinion of goverment taxing it's people more than ____% I read the quote when I was in grade school, but cannot find it. It went something like this: Ill is a government that taxes its people more than ____ percent... I want to know what the figure is where I have the underscore, and how that quote is actually worded. Can you help? Thanking you in advance

At examining to information on art painter Henri Frederic Jean-Baptiste Jolly (an ancestor of my wife Yolanda Phillepine Jolly) I discovered that he has made a painting and a book also under the name baron Jolly and that the book and the painting in your possession are. Is it possible to examine the book by Internet? The book has 8 pages and is called: The elegant steel engraving of Franklin at the court of France, in 1778 / engraved by William Overend Geller ; from the original painting by Baron Jolly of Bruxelles Published/Created Newark : W.
