Does not contain the preface found in Jordan's London editions. Page [4] contains an extract from a commendatory note written by Thomas Jefferson, then Secretary of State, to accompany a copy of the work sent to J.B. Smith, the publisher's brother. cf. Conway's Life of Paine, 1892, v. 1, p. 291.

Work Description

Written in a fit of pique brought about by Edmund Burke's blistering attack of the French Revolution, Paine's The Rights of Man has come to be regarded as one of the most important works in the realm of Western political philosophy. In it, Paine contends that some rights that are granted through natural law, rather than by governments or constitutions. A must-read for those interested in politics, philosophy, and the intersection of the two.

Excerpts

AMONG the incivilities by which nations or individuals provoke and irritate each other, Mr. Burke's pamphlet on the French Revolution is an extraordinary instance.
