Open Invitation for Anyone Interested in 18th Century Ideas and History:
"Dr. Johnson and the Age of Reason" is a group for anyone interested in "the long 18th century" from Voltaire to the fall of Napoleon. Thomas Paine, London coffeehouses, Franklin, Voltaire, Burke, the French and American revolutions and theTerror-- I'm fascinated by how these people shaped our world and how many of the arguments carry on in modern dress.
It may especially interest those persons fond of Dr. Samuel Johnson, late of Gough Square, London, just around the corner from the Cheshire Cheese (where for many years lived the foulest-mouthed parrot in London, who, being exhausted from imitating the sound of a champagne cork on New Years, 1926, died of an apoplexy, and whose obituary was featured in over 200 newspapers.)
