520    "I know not whether any man in the world", wrote John 
       Adams in 1805, "has had more influence on its inhabitants 
       or affairs for the last thirty years than Tom Paine". The 
       impassioned democratic voice of the Age of Revolution, 
       Paine wrote for his mass audience with vigor, clarity, and
       "common sense". This is the first major new edition of his
       work in 50 years, and the most comprehensive single-volume
       collection of his writings available. Emphasizing Paine's 
       American career, it brings together his best-known works -
       Common Sense, The American Crisis, Rights of Man, The Age 
       of Reason - along with scores of letters, articles, and 
       pamphlets. Paine came to America in 1774 at age 37 after a
       life of obscurity and failure in England. Within 14 months
       he published Common Sense, the most influential pamphlet 
       of the American Revolution and began a career that would 
       see him prosecuted in England, imprisoned and nearly 
       executed in France, and hailed and reviled in the American
       nation he helped create. In Common Sense Paine set forth 
       an inspiring vision of an independent America as an asylum
       for freedom and an example of popular self-government in a
       world oppressed by despotism and hereditary privilege. The
       American Crisis, begun during "the times that try men's 
       souls" in 1776, is a masterpiece of popular pamphleteering
       in which Paine vividly reports current developments, 
       taunts and ridicules British adversaries, and enjoins his 
       readers to remember the immense stakes of their struggle. 
       Among the many other items included in the volume are the 
       combative "Forester" letters, written in reply to a Tory 
       critic of Common Sense, and several pieces concerning the 
       French Revolution, including an incisiveargument against 
       executing Louis XVI.
