The life of Thomas Paine

mover of the "Declaration of independence," secretary of foreign affairs under the first American Congress, member of the National convention of France, author of "Common sense," "The crisis," "Rights of man," "Age of reason," &c., &c. : the man, whose motto was, "The world is my country; to do good, my religion." Embracing practical considerations on human rights, demonstrating that man tends irrepressibly to actual freedom, and showing a liberty-aim connection in the action of the world's three great author-heroes,--Rousseau, Paine, and Comte.
