Description: This is a very rare, original book printed in 1892. An excerpt from the Publisher's Preface reads: The object of the present work is to place before the public, at a low price, a concise and impartial history of the life of Thomas Paine; so that the people who have been so grossly misled in regard to his real character, and so greatly benefited by his services, may learn to respect and honor the memory of their great benefactor. But few, who have not specially examined the subject, realize the great and beneficent influence which Paine's writings have exerted and are still destined to exert. He was, as is well known, one of the chief instigators and promoters of the American Revolution, and also one of the most earnest and zealous workers in the brave struggle of the Colonies for Freedom and Independence... (continues for 9 pages and ends with) ...The writings of Paine, like those of Shakespeare, "are not for a day, but for all time," and the political principles he so ably taught--the moral truths he so earnestly enforced--will be remembered and commended whilst reason holds her throne and justice survives among mankind. Paine loved his fellow men, --his life was dedicated to Humanity,--his writings aroused the world,--his genius immortalized his name,--his faith in Democracy was sublime,--his labors were crowned with success,--his reward was neglect, obloquy, and scorn! Peter Eckler.
