We will be listing 55 year collection of rare Americana including a vast amount of early American literature including early bound copies of Common Sense, Rights of Man, American Crisis and much related material. Thomas Paine was an English-American writer and political pamphleteer. His Common Sense pamphlet and Crisis papers were important influences on the American Revolution.
Thomas Paine arrived in the American colonies in 1774, as the conflict between aggrieved colonists and Britain was reaching its height. After the Battles of Lexington and Concord in 1775, Paine argued that the colonists’ cause should be not just a revolt against taxation but a demand for independence. He put this idea into Common Sense.
English-American writer and political pamphleteer Thomas Paine was born on January 29, 1737, in Thetford, Norfolk, England.
