Rights of man; being an answer to Mr. Burke's attack on the French Revolution
London: R. Carlisle, 1819. 8vo, pp. 112; bound with: Rights of Man. Part the Second, Combining Principle and Practice. London: W. T. Sherwin, 1819. Pp. 118, iv; contemporary blue paper-covered boards worn at the edges and soiled, corners bumped, recent rebacking in cream paper, portions of old printed paper label on spine; hinges strengthened; good and sound, textblock clean. The two parts were first published separately, and suppressed in 1791 and 1792. The second part was a much stronger call for a change in the form of government in England, and Paine was brought to trial in 1792 for it. Carlisle himself was also arrested for his publication of Paine's Age of Reason and was imprisoned for six years, hence the secondary publisher for the second volume. Item #55094
