Common Sense and Other Works

When Thomas Paine published his pamphlet Common Sense over the course of 1775 and 1776 it helped to galvanize the colonists to demand egalitarian government and separation from Great Britain. A bestseller in its day, it is recognized as one of the most important historical documents in the run up to the American Revolution. This volume contains not only the full text of Common Sense, but also the full text of Rights of Man, Paine’s defense of the French Revolution, and the first five pamphlets in his American Crisis series.

This special edition features an elegantly designed cover and a durable flexible binding. It is an indispensable addition to any home history library.
