‎Second improved edition of the first German translation of Paine's seminal ""The Rights of Man"": ""the textbook of radical thought and the clearest of all expositions of the basic principles of democracy"" (PMM). The work was written as a response to Burke's ""Reflections on the Revolution in France"" from 1790, in which Burke voices his distrust of the ""Perfectibilitarians"" and of the mere destructive criticism of institutions and concludes that the French revolutionaries are not fighting for real liberty and that they have no idea what it would take for them to ""form themselves into a mass which has a true political personality"". Reacting to Burke's excpression of the horror and dismay that the liberal-minded now felt for the French revolutionaries, Paine defends the French Revolution against Burke's attacked. He famously lays down the principles of fundamental human rights that must stand no matter what, no matter what is necessary to obtain them, and he argues that popular political revolution is permissible when a government does not safeguard its people, their natural rights, and their national interests. Paine himself condered the work ""one of the most useful and benevolent books ever offered to mankind"". It was indeed hugely popular, hugely controversial, and hugely influential. Although suppressed on the day of publication, the modified version was quickly printed and reprinted. It was very widely circulated, with copies being read aloud in inns and coffee houses. Although the Revolution controversy had spawned more than 300 pamphlets, Pain's ""Rights of Man"" was the first seriously to damage Burke's case and to restore credit to the French both in Britain and America. The publication of Rights of Man caused a furor in England" Thomas Paine was tried in absentia, and convicted for seditious libel against the Crown, but was unavailable for hanging, having departed England for Africa.‎

‎London Printed for T. Evans 1796 Troisième édition. Carton rigide recouvert de toile brune, titre doré au dos. Manque le demi-titre et les publicités finales, n'ayant apparemment jamais été reliées. La page 84 a été grossièrement réparée, mais est tout à fait lisible. Un bon exemplaire de lecture. 385 pages. 185 x 120 mm. Richard Watson devint membre du Trinity College de Cambridge en 1760 et obtint sa maîtrise en 1762. Il est nommé professeur de chimie à Cambridge en 1764, bien qu'il n'ait reçu qu'une formation formelle limitée dans ce domaine, et se tourne ensuite vers la théologie, devenant Regius Professor of Divinity à Cambridge en 1771, un poste qu'il obtient avec l'appui de la royauté, bien qu'il n'ait pas de diplôme de théologie (à l'époque). Watson est connu pour son approche rationnelle et biblique, ne reconnaissant aucune autre autorité que le Nouveau Testament et montrant peu d'intérêt pour la théologie systématique ou historique. Il s'associe au groupe influent des disciples d'Edmund Law, qui comprend John Hey et William Paley. Thomas Paine (1737-1809), figure centrale du siècle des Lumières et de la révolution américaine, est réputé pour sa critique radicale de la Bible et du christianisme organisé, dont l'expression la plus célèbre se trouve dans son ouvrage L'âge de raison, qui marque le début de cette série de lettres.‎

‎Third edition. Brown cloth covered hardback boards with gilt title to spine. Lacks half title, and final adverts, seemingly never having been bound in. Page 84 has been crudely repaired, but is totally legible. A good reading copy. 385 pages. 185 x 120 mm (7Œ x 4Ÿ inches). Richard Watson became a fellow of Trinity College Cambridge in 1760, and received his MA in 1762. He was appointed Professor of Chemistry at Cambridge in 1764, despite having limited formal training in the subject, and transitioned to theology, becoming Regius Professor of Divinity at Cambridge in 1771, a post he obtained with royal support - again despite lacking a divinity degree (at that time). Watson was known for his rational, biblical approach, recognising no authority but the New Testament and showing little interest in systematic or historical theology. He associated with the influential group of Edmund Law's followers, which included John Hey and William Paley. Thomas Paine (17371809), was a pivotal figure of the Enlightenment and the American Revolution, and is renowned for his radical critique of the Bible and organised Christianity, most famously articulated in his work The Age of Reason, which began this series of letters.‎
