    About Dr. Franklin in the World Today

    Benjamin Franklin Today

    What if Benjamin Franklin were able to come back today?

    Patrick McBride presents an interesting and fun perspective of our favorite founding father in this contemporary world.


    Benjamin Franklin in his eighty-third year to the Rev. John Lathrop.

     

    "I have been long impressed with the same sentiments you so well express, of the growing felicity of mankind, from the improvements in philosophy, morals, politics, and even the conveniences of common living, by the invention and acquisition of new and useful utensils and instruments, that I have sometimes almost wished it had been my destiny to be born two or three centuries hence. For invention and improvement are prolific, and beget more of their kind. The present progress is rapid. Many of great importance, now unthought of, will before that period be produced; and then I might not only enjoy their advantages, but have my curiosity gratified in knowing what they are to be. I see a little absurdity in what I have just written, but it is to a friend, who will wink and let it pass, while I mention one reason more for such a wish, which is, that, if the art of physic shall be improved in proportion with other arts, we may then be able to avoid diseases, and live as long as the patriarchs in Genesis; to which I suppose we should make little objection." 

    What Can I Expect?

    You will see the historical side, the humorous side, and the witty side of Dr. Franklin.  Bring Benjamin Franklin to your meeting, club, conference, trade show, photo shoot, social gathering.
