| | | | Creator: | Paine, Thomas, 1737-1809 | | | | Publication: | Printed and sold by D. I. Eaton, London,[1796?] | | | | Notes: | No. I of this edition, dated August 9, 1795 (i. e. 1775) and referring to Gen. Gage's proclamation concerning the affair at Lexington, is an essay from the London "Crisis", and is here erroneously attributed to Paine. The first number of the "American crisis" is no. II of this collection. Nos. X and XII, designated in editor's notes as XI and XIII, are omitted, owing to the inability of the publisher to procure copies. The Crisis extraordinary is inserted in its chronological place. No. VII (i. e. VI) "To the Earl of Carlisle", and the letter to Sir Guy Carleton, are dated 1788 and 1789 for 1778 and 1782 respectively. On verso of t.-p. are two resolutions of Congress, dated August 26 and Oct. 3, 1785, in regard to the reward to be paid to Paine for his valuable political writings. | | | | Call #: | E211 P147A 1796 Vault | | | | Extent: | 1 p. l., 293 p. 22 cm. | | | | Subjects: | Huddy, Joshua, -- d. 1782 | Asgill, Charles, -- Sir, -- 1760?-1823 | United States -- History -- Revolution, 1775-1783
