In 1790 Edmund Burke launched an attack on the French Revolution. Mary Wollstonecraft responded with "A Vindication of the Rights of Man", the first shot in a Pamphlet War to which Thomas Paine, who had participated in the American Revolution and had intimate knowledge of the French Revolution, decided to add his own firepower.The result was "The Rights of Man", a work which inspired the thinking sections of the working people of England and all those seeking Parliamentary and social reform, just as it appalled the landed aristocracy, the bishops of the Church of England and the Tory establishment.Today sections of the Tory Party are attempting to resurrect Burke as a great philosopher and promoter of liberty. Any attracted to that view as well as those against it could do worse than read Thomas Paine's contribution to the debate.Published in support of the Working Class Movement Library, 51 The Crescent, Salford, M5 4WX.
Lettre adressée à l'abbé Raynal sur les affaires de l'Amérique septentrionale... Traduite de l'anglois de M. Thomas Payne, ...Date de l'édition originale: 1783Le présent ouvrage s'inscrit dans une politique de conservation patrimoniale des ouvrages de la littérature Française mise en place avec la BNF. HACHETTE LIVRE et la BNF proposent ainsi un catalogue de titres indisponibles, la BNF ayant numérisé ces oeuvres et HACHETTE LIVRE les imprimant à la demande. Certains de ces ouvrages reflètent des courants de pensée caractéristiques de leur époque, mais qui seraient aujourd'hui jugés condamnables. Ils n'en appartiennent pas moins à l'histoire des idées en France et sont susceptibles de présenter un intérêt scientifique ou historique. Le sens de notre démarche éditoriale consiste ainsi à permettre l'accès à ces oeuvres sans pour autant que nous en cautionnions en aucune façon le contenu.

Thomas Paine marshaled moral and political arguments to encourage common folk in the Colonies to fight for egalitarian government. It was published anonymously in 1776 at the start of the American Revolution, and became an immediate sensation.
