Beschreibung: 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). See Audrey Williamson, Thomas Paine: His Life, Work, and Times (Allen & Unwin, 1973). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 127289

Beschreibung: Printed for J.S. Jordan -92, 1791. 2 vols. in 1, a nice clean copy, if a little on the small size (no cropping), first vol. without the half-tile but with ads, second with half-title (slightly soiled) but without ads, pp. [iii-] x, [7-] 171, [2]; [xvi], 178, 8vo, stab holes, contemporary half calf over marbled boards, flat spine gilt and blind tooled in compartments, lettered in gilt direct, trifling wear, very good. Paine's Rights of Man went through a dizzying number of editions early on, and the two parts are therefore often found in odd mixtures of editions. The present early editions are in perfect period dress (including evidence of bookbinders' parsimony as to margins - evidence, but no grievous bodily harm). (ESTC T5868 and T5881).

Beschreibung: 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. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 96176

Beschreibung: Published for D. Jordan, Piccadilly, 1792. Hard Cover. Zustand: 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. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 2291994

Beschreibung: Printed for J. Dodsley | Printed by Thomas Pearson and Sold by J. Johnson | Printed for J. S. Jordan, London | Birmingham | London, 1791. Full Leather. Zustand: Very Good binding. 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.

Beschreibung: Muir, Gowans, & Co., Glasgow, 1832. Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. This is complicated so bear with me. Volume is a sammelband (collection) of four titles from the publisher Muir of Glasgow. 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 (inquire for an image); 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. The "Hardie" work is particularly uncommon: none recorded at auction, none for sale. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers ABE-1554087334273

Beschreibung: 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.

Original or nearly contemporary half calf, hubbed spine, over marbled paper covered boards. 171 pp. The Sixth Edition, so stated on the title page. Binding is well rubbed and worn, light foxing to the title page with the remainder of the text mostly clean with very little scattered foxing; the final page of text , which has been wrinkled and torn but is complete, is laid down on a contemporary blank. Bound without the half-title. One of Thomas Paine's three major works (the others being the 1776 pamphlet "Common Sense" and "The Age of Reason" 1795-1807), one that presents his theory that citizenry has the right to revolt when a government does not safeguard the natural rights of the people, a thematic continuance of the views he first expressed in "Common Sense". In this case, Paine defends the French Revolution, against attacks by Britian's Edmund Burke who had in 1790 published "Reflections on The Revolution In France". Paine published a second part of "Rights of Man" in 1792, a year after this part appeared. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers E18277

Jordan No. 166 Fleet Street, 1793. 8vo., (3) + 6 - 54 + 57 - 143 + (1)pp. (as called for, pp.55-56 omitted but text complete), well bound recently in old-style sprinkled calf with gilt-lettered spine label. A very good copy. One of several contemporary reports of Tom Paine's trial (see, e.g. Thetford #744 - 749). Tom Paine's trial in absentia, one of the most celebrated political trials of the 18th century, is a landmark event in the history of the freedom of the press. 'When the second part of Rights of Man appeared in 1792 (it applied the principles of the French Revolution to Britain), Paine was arrested and brought to trial. Between the preliminary hearing in June and the formal trial scheduled for December, feeling against Paine ran so high that, at the insistence of his friends, Paine left for France. Paine was tried in absentia and, despite Thomas Erskine's eloquent defense, he was found guilty of seditious libel and declared an outlaw. His book became contraband. Erskine had argued that since Paine's intent was honorable reform, the work could not be considered seditious.' [McCoy, Freedom of the Press I>, 1968]. But in the end it was Thomas Erskine's famous four-hour speech which had set the radical world alight. Erskine's argument 'was that the charge of seditious libel against Paine was unjustified because it violated a key principle of the British constitution - the principle of the liberty of the press.
