Thomas Paine (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from Thomas Paine

The purpose of this small volume is to tell the story of Thomas Paine without bias and without argument. It is difficult, indeed, to write of Paine without enthusiasm for his genius and a lively recognition of his great services to liberty. But his faults are set down frankly. The reader shall be judge and jury.

Excerpt from Thomas Paine

The photogravure used as a frontispiece to this volume is reproduced from a photograph of the portrait of Thomas Paine which hangs in Independence Hall. This painting, presented to the city of Philadelphia in 1859 by a number of prominent citizens, is a copy by Bass Otis of a portrait by John Wesley Jarvis, an intimate friend of Paine's. The picture shows Paine in the prime of life, and the careful dress is characteristic of his personal habits. The reproduction here given is by John Andrew & Son, of Boston.
