Descrizione: London: printed for J. S. Jordan, 1791, 1791. Octavo (212 x 124 mm). Contemporary red levant morocco, spine lettered in gilt and divided into compartments with urn motifs and roundel cornerpieces, single fillet rule border to boards, Greek-roll to inner dentelles in gilt, marbled endpapers, edges gilt, green cloth page marker. A finely bound copy, spine faintly sunned and a few spots of rubbing to extremities, one shallow scratch to rear board, free endpapers a little browned, else the contents crisp and clean, stab-holes visible. Fifth edition of Paine's famous response to Burke's Reflections, handsomely bound. Rights of Man was first printed by Joseph Johnson in early 1791, but publishing of it was soon taken over by J. S. Jordan (who republished it with some amendments), apparently because Johnson feared prosecution. The work alarmed the Pitt government and led to repressive measures and censorship, yet it still managed to reach a wide audience, going though numerous reprints and various translations. "In this sense, the confrontation led to victory for Paine; it is Burke's political system which has failed to stand the test of time" (Williamson, p. 124).

Descrizione: Paris, Chez F. Buisson, 1791. First French edition of Thomas Paine's classic statement of faith in democracy and egalitarianism. Octavo, bound in contemporary one quarter calf over marbled boards. In very good condition. From the library of Virginia bibliophile and historian Christopher Clark Geest with his bookplate to the pastedown. Rare and desirable. "One of the most remarkable political writers of the modern world Thomas Paine wrote both parts of Rights of Man with the United States in mind Celebrating America and the extension of the struggle for liberty, equality and democracy to France Rights of Man became a phenomenal success in America" (Kaye, 4, 97-9). Paine finished the first part of Rights of Man on his 54th birthday, January 29, 1791, and the following day handed the manuscript to Johnson, a London publisher "who set about printing it in time for the opening of Parliament and Washington s birthday on February 22." Fearing governmental reprisals, Johnson halted its release compelling Paine to find another London publisher J.S. Jordan. Paine entrusted friends to supervise the publication and "packed his trunk for Paris, where he planned to arrange a French translation." The London edition of Rights of Man finally saw publication on March 13, 1791 and "made Paine the most controversial public figure of the day" (Keane, 304-6). Paine, then in France, had "brought with him from London a copy of the [original sheets] for translation into French" (Woodward, 199). With the publication of a new French edition of Common Sense and, in May 1791, the appearance Droits de l Homme [Rights of Man], French newspapers declared Paine "the most determined champion of republican principles." Paine's objective in Part I of Rights of Man "was to defend the cause of individual rights and liberty" (Fruchtman, 250-1). Rights of Man stands as "the earliest complete statement of republican principles. It set forth the fundamental ideas on which the American republic was founded" (Woodward, 211). Shortly after publication of Part I of Rights of Man, Paine began work on Part II, which appeared in February 1792. Codice articolo 96176

[Political Philosophy] A collection of eleven works and pamphlets, all early editions, published separately and bound in contemporary boards (23 x 15cm).

Descrizione: Published for D. Jordan, Piccadilly, 1792. Hard Cover. Condizione: Near Fine. No Jacket. Ninth Edition. Ninth edition, printed in the same year as part two's original release, and just a year after the first appearance of part one. ESTC T5876 and N13105. Howes P31 and P32. Rebound in grey paper-covered boards with paper spine label and new end sheets. Brief pencil marginalia on just a couple pages, a few pages very faintly foxed, otherwise an exceptional copy. 1792 Hard Cover. viii, 110, [2], xiii, [14]-142, [2] pp. 4to. Both parts of Paine's famous work in defense of political revolution. The first part was originally printed in 1791, and the second part followed the next year. "Rights of Man (1791), a book by Thomas Paine, including 31 articles, posits that popular political revolution is permissible when a government does not safeguard the natural rights of its people. Using these points as a base it defends the French Revolution against Edmund Burke's attack in Reflections on the Revolution in France (1790)." "Thomas Paine (February 9, 1737 [O.S. January 29, 1736 ? June 8, 1809) was an author, pamphleteer, radical, inventor, intellectual, revolutionary, and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Born in Thetford, Norfolk, Paine emigrated to the British American colonies in 1774 in time to participate in the American Revolution. His principal contributions were the powerful, widely-read pamphlet Common Sense (1776), advocating colonial America's independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain, and The American Crisis (1776?1783), a pro-revolutionary pamphlet series. The historian Saul K. Padover in the biography Jefferson: A Great American's Life and Ideas, refers to Paine as "a corsetmaker by trade, a journalist by profession, and a propagandist by inclination." Paine greatly influenced the French Revolution. He wrote the Rights of Man (1791), a guide to Enlightenment ideas. Despite not speaking French, he was elected to the French National Convention in 1792. The Girondists regarded him as an ally, so, the Montagnards, especially Robespierre, regarded him as an enemy. In December of 1793, he was arrested and imprisoned in Paris, then released in 1794. He became notorious because of The Age of Reason (1793?94), his book advocating deism, promoting reason and freethinking, and arguing against institutionalized religion and Christian doctrines. He also wrote the pamphlet Agrarian Justice (1795), discussing the origins of property, and introduced the concept of a guaranteed minimum income. Paine remained in France during the early Napoleonic era, but condemned Napoleon's dictatorship, calling him "the completest charlatan that ever existed". In 1802, at President Jefferson's invitation, he returned to America where he died on June 8, 1809. Only six people attended his funeral as he had been ostracized for his criticisms and ridicule of Christianity. Codice articolo 2291994

A wonderful collection of works by and about the controversial American author, Thomas Paine, all printed in the United States between 1793 and 1796 and collected in a single contemporary volume.

One of Paine's most famous works, here in one of eight American editions printed in 1794, following French and English language editions published in France the same year. Paine's treatise on his religious beliefs created much controversy, and many authors wished to contribute to its refutation. "Paine completed THE AGE OF REASON (1794), an attack on organized Christianity and the idea of the divine inspiration of the Bible. A second part appeared in 1795. Although Paine, a deist, insisted, 'I believe in one God, and no more; and I hope for happiness beyond this life,' THE AGE OF REASON made his name anathema among the clergy and devout Christians on both sides of the Atlantic" - ANB.

Descrizione: Printed for J. Dodsley, London | Birmingham | London, 1791. Full Leather. Condizione: Very Good binding. Second Edition, First Impression. A collection of three reactions to the French Revolution by English-speaking writers, together in one volume: the Second Issue of Burke's defining Reflections on the Revolution in France; the Second Edition of a response by Joseph Priestley, the chemist, theologian, co-founder of Unitarianism, and political theorist; and the Fifth London Edition of Thomas Paine's monumental Rights of Man, "the textbook of radical thought" (PMM 241). "In the eternal debate between the ideal and the practical, the latter had never had a more powerful or moving advocate, nor one whose own ideals were higher" than Burke. He "expressed in a single work all the reactions of horror and dismay with which the liberal-minded who had hailed its beginning now felt for the French revolutionaries. Paine's 'answer to Mr. Burke's attack' took the argument to a higher level. With a force and clarity unequaled even by Burke, Paine laid down those principles of fundamental human rights which must stand, no matter what excesses are committed to obtain them." (PMM 239; 241). This being the second issue of Burke's Reflections, called by Todd the 'second edition, first impression' (53b). The second edition, first impression was "an unlabeled reprint of approximately 2000 copies [.] Though in part identical with a, this may properly be called a new edition, since it is substantially of a new setting." Todd 53b, combination [a,y], with the 'M' in imprint date immediately below the first 'D' of DODSLEY, ornamental flower on p. [iv] pointing to the right, and press figure '*' on p. 354. Together with the Second Edition of Joseph Priestley's response, Letters to the Right Honourable Edmund Burke, a vindication of the French Revolution and the explicit cause for the English government and common people's ire and suspicion against the man; in 1791, after a mob burned down his house and chased his family across the countryside, he fled to London and thereafter to Pennsylvania. Finally with the Fifth [London] Edition of Thomas Paine's Rights of Man. All volumes collate complete; [Burke] 8o: [A]2 B-Z8 2A2 [$4 signed]; 180 leaves; [i-iii] iv, 1-356 pp. | [Priestley] 8o: A-K8 L4 M2 [$4 (-C3, L3, L4, M2) signed]; 86 leaves; [i-iii] iv-xiii [xiv-xvi], 1-155 [156] pp. | [Paine] [A]6 B-X4 Y2 [$2 (-Y2) signed]; 88 leaves; [i-vii] viii-x, 7-171 [172] pp. Rebacked with the early leather spine laid down, and a modern red leather label.

Descrizione: London: (I-III) R. Carlile; (IV-V) W.T. Sherwin 1819-1818; 1817., 1819. Two works in five parts bound in one volume. 8vo. 52; vi, 96; (vi), 58; vii, 98, (1); 118, iv, (2) pp. Recent speckled half calf over marbled boards, spine with raised bands, gilt lettered black label, gilt lettered direct to another two panels. Very good. Gimbel, cf. pp. 19 and 21 for I and II, p. 68 for III, pp. 93 and 109 for IV and V. According to the Norfolk Public Library catalogue these are 7th, 6th and 2nd British editions of the parts of the Age of Reason. The third part was first published in New York in 1807 as a separate work, before being republished in London thus in 1811 by Daniel Isaac Eaton. The long delay in its appearance in Britain can be ascribed to the controversy of his previous works and pursuance of the British government against Paine and his publishers. Indeed Eaton was himself tried and convicted for publishing this work, publishing an account of his trial the following year. Having been effectively suppressed the 1811 edition is scarce, with only three copies listed on Copac, and though this 1818 edition was sold more freely it is not commomly available either.

Descrizione: Muir, Gowans, & Co., Glasgow, 1832. Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. This is complicated so bear with me. This is a sammelband (collection) of four titles from the publisher Muir. Listed in order of binding: First title "Life of Thomas Paine" (1833) is not attributed but some OCLC participants attribute this to W. T. Sherwin (OCLC: 933006301). Second title "Rights of Man" (1833) requires no explanation. Next two titles written by Peter MacKenzie are rare and make up most of the value. Third title "Exposure of the Spy System" is the 1832 first edition of this work. Includes frontis of Hardie's grave. The fourth (final) title "Trial of James Wilson" is the 1832 first edition. The whole thing paginates: 48, viii, 104, [2], 242, 48. Bound in high quality quarter leather with marbled boards fine binding by Starr Bookworks. Defects are: page 21/22 of "Rights" has a repaired hole affecting a few words (see scan); list of Paine's works has some check marks; title page of "Spy" has small edge tear not affecting anything. Feel free to inquire. Please see scans of the book you will receive. Note: publisher had some serious courage to publish this stuff when they did. The final two books pay tribute to people executed for treason only 12 years earlier. See Wikipedia Scottish "Radical War" for more info. Paine's works were an inspiration for the radicals and explains their presence here. There must be other copies of this sammelband out there but I have not located any which makes this rare.

Descrizione: London: W.T. Sherwin, 1817. 8vo. vii, 98, (1); (xii), 118, iv, (2); 138 pp. Twentieth century tan morocco over matching boards by Chivers of Bath. Occasional light foxing, very good. An instant bestseller on its publication in 1791, its radical views led to a flurry of opposing pamphlets and quickly to Paine's exile. Still one of the most influential political tracts ever, it was dedicated to George Washington - "That the Rights of Man may become as universal as your benevolence can wish, and that you may enjoy the happiness of seeing the New World regenerate the Old." ".the clearest of all expositions of the basic principles of democracy." (Printing and the Mind of Man 241). Sherwin's Political Register was an enterprise founded by the fellow radicals Richard Carlile and William Sherwin, publishers of new editions of many of Paine's work. It was issued weekly between April 1817 and August 1819 and usually consisted of reports, articles and letters on the radical politics of the day, generally making itself unpopular with the Government and with the threat of prosecution never far away. Indeed, Carlile published the earliest first hand account of the Peterloo Massacre in one of its final issues, leading to its suppression and prompt refounding, a week or so later, as The Republican. Uncommon. Gimbel pp 93, 109. Complete with both parts. Codice articolo 26830

Double blind ruled borders on boards. Spine with gilt rules and decoration either side of a black calf label, lettered in gilt. ----- Report of the trial held in Great Britain while Paine was in self-exile in France. The accusation was that Paine; wishing and intending mischief, did, on the 16th of February, 1791, wickedly, falsely, maliciously, scandalously, and seditiously publish a certain book, called Second Part of Rights of Man, signed Thomas Paine, containing many false, wicked, scandalous, malicious and seditious assertions. --- The prosecution did not even have to rebut Mr. Erskine's arguments; the jury informed the judge they had already decided Paine was guilty. The French response to the trial was to make a national hero of Paine and to elevate him to the status of a government official. Codice articolo 9832
