Profile of Sir Francis Dashwood
Tim Harris profiles legendary eighteenth century libertine Sir Francis Dashwood, founder of the Society of Dilettanti and "The Order of the Friars of St Francis of Wycombe, better known as the Hell-fire Club."
The young Sir Francis was interested in art and culture. He was also just as interested in alcohol and women, and did as much drinking and fornicating as art appreciation. His personal mission was "to taste the sweets of all things".
Sounds like my kind of guy. (Link snagged from World Sex News.)
