Rare early printing of Thomas Paine's landmark work. Duodecimo, bound in half-calf over cloth boards with gilt titles to the spine in six compartments within tooled bands, morocco spine label, all edges stained red. In near fine condition with some light toning to the text. One of the founding fathers of the United States, Thomas Paine authored two of the most influential pamphlets at the start of the American Revolution, which ultimately inspired the 1776 Declaration of Independence. Virtually every American rebel read Paineâ s powerful pamphlet Common Sense which crystallized the American Revolution and demand for independence from Britain. John Adams asserted "without the pen of the author of Common Sense, the sword of Washington would have been raised in vain.". Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 149923
