Life of Thomas Paine Written Purposely to Bind with His Writings

Life of Thomas Paine Written Purposely to Bind with His Writings by Richard Carlile, Second Edition. This little Memoir of Mr. Paine was written purposely to accompany a new Edition of his Political Works, lately published by R. Carlile, and whilst it was in the press, it occurred to him that it would be desirable as a pamphlet to those persons who had made a previous purchase of those works. Accordingly lie worked off 500 of them, and found that they were all sold in a few weeks, without a single advertisement beyond “The Republican.” It has now been out of print for above three months, and finding a constant, and increasing demand for them, he has been induced to make a few corrections and some slight additions, and to print a second edition. Brief as the number of its pages must appear, for so interesting a character, the Compiler feels assured that it will be deemed sufficient by all persons who may possess Mr Paine’s writings, for whose satisfaction it was solely written.
