Basic Writings Of Thomas Paine

The Basic Writings of Thomas Paine is a collection of three influential works by Thomas Paine: Common Sense, Rights of Man, and Age of Reason. Common Sense, published in 1776, is a persuasive pamphlet that argues for American independence from Britain and criticizes the British monarchy. Rights of Man, published in 1791, is a defense of the French Revolution and a call for political reform in Britain. Age of Reason, published in two parts in 1794 and 1795, is a critique of organized religion and a defense of deism. Paine's writing style is clear and persuasive, and his ideas had a significant impact on the American and French Revolutions. This collection is a must-read for anyone interested in political philosophy and the history of the Enlightenment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
