“The body of B. Franklin, Printer;
Like the cover of an old book (it's contents torn out, and stript of its lettering and guilding), lies here, food for worms

But the work shall not be wholly lost, for it will (as he believed) appear once more, in a new and more perfect edition, corrected and amended, by the Author.”
― Benjamin Franklin
