This from the book I am reading:
“[Radical publisher of Paine’s “The Rights of Man”] Rickman had loudly advertised his radical affiliations and literary affections by baptising one of his children as Paine and calling the others Washington, Franklin, Rousseau, Petrarch and Volney.”
I mean, really, I have seen nothing in the Irish Times to rival this one. I hope that they were all boys.
