Main Books Essays Critiques ... Links Thomas Paine By Punkerslut The author of the American Revolution and a strong Abolitionist, Thomas Paine was a political writer who dared to ask the questions that were punishable by death. He was as much defiant of the Monarch powers that hunted him down as he was defiant of the religious powers that ostracized him from civilization. When Paine was only eight years of age, he immediately began to doubt the Bible. He had heard a sermon on atonement; the sermon described how god had murdered his only son to revenge himself when there was no other way. Upon hearing this appalling doctrine, this child of innocence and beauty the young Thomas Paine became an infidel and disagreed with the Bible. From these bright, inquisitive beginnings in childhood, Thomas Paine made great strides for the advancement of Rationalism. Robert Green Ingersoll once said of Thomas Paine, "With his name left out, the history of liberty cannot be written." [ On Thomas Paine , by Robert G. Ingersoll, 1870.]

Thomas Paine (1737-1809) Contributing Editor: Martin Roth Major Themes, Historical Perspectives, and Personal Issues Nature and Reason are not abstract principles for Paine. They are not categories through which it is useful to think about things, but dynamic principles that Paine almost literally sees at work in the world. Reason in Common Sense is masculine, a most concrete actor pleading with us to separate from England or forbidding us to have faith in our enemies. Nature is feminine; "she" weeps, and she is unforgiving as part of her deepest nature. Should these agencies be regarded as philosophical principles? As deities? Are they coherent characters? Can they be identified by collecting all their behaviors and their metaphoric qualifications? How do we think about Paine as an author, a writing "I"? One of his works is presented as having been written by an embodied principle of "common sense," and another piece, The Age of Reason , a work on the general truth of religion, opens in an extremely private, confessional mode. But he writes in this way to prove that he could have no private motives for misleading others. What kind of stakes are being waged by writing a work on religious truth just before you die? Is there any distinction for Paine between the private and the public I, the private and the public life? Notice how many statements fold back upon the self: "it is necessary to the happiness of man that he be mentally faithful to himself" and "my own mind is my own church."

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History PAINE, THOMAS , political philosopher and writer. "I know not whether any man in the world has had more influence on its inhabitants or affairs for the last thirty years than Tom Paine." So wrote John Adams in 1805. In an age of political pamphleteering, Paine had become the most influential pamphleteer of all. His writings remain classic statements of the egalitarian, democratic faith of the Age of Revolution. Paine's origins lay among the lower orders of eighteenth-century England. The son of a Quaker corset maker, he practiced his father's trade and then worked as an excise tax collector. His father's religion undoubtedly influenced Paine's humanitarianism, and a strong interest in Newtonian science helped him develop a hatred for governments that rested on hereditary privilege. Paine immigrated to Philadelphia in 1774 and soon became acquainted with advocates of political change. In January 1776, he published Common Sense

Search ( Enter the name of an historical figure, event or issue) Thomas Paine Tom Paine was born in England and worked as a tax collector and political writer. Through the auspices of Benjamin Franklin , Paine came to the colonies in 1774 as the editor of the Pennsylvania Magazine Lasting fame resulted from the publication of Common Sense in January 1776, followed some months later by the first of a series of pamphlets called The Crisis . With the continental forces in retreat, American readers received encouragement from the installments of The Crisis In addition to his polemical writing, Paine served on the Committee on Foreign Affairs for the Continental Congress and as a clerk to the legislature in Pennsylvania. Following the War for American Independence, Paine left for England. In 1791-92 he published The Rights of Man , a justification of the French Revolution; the treatise was suppressed in that country. Fleeing to France, Paine became politically active and was elected to the National Convention. In 1793, during the Reign of Terror, Paine was imprisoned by the Jacobins. During his confinement, he penned The Age of Reason , which embraced the popular deistic views of the day and was regarded as critical of the Bible.

International Vegetarian Union History of Vegetarianism North America: 18th Century Thomas Paine American political pamphleteer born in England. His works include the pamphlets Common Sense (1776) and Crisis (1776-83), supporting the American colonists fight for independence. The Rights of Man (1791-92), a justification of the French Revolution; and The Age of Reason (1794-95) a defence of Deism. Note: there is no evidence that Paine was vegetarian, but his thinking was very influential on those who followed. Quote: "The moral duty of man consists in imitating the moral goodness and beneficence of God manifested in the creation towards all his creatures. That seeing, as we daily do, the goodness of God to all men, it is an example calling upon all men to practice the same towards each other; and consequently that every thing of persecution and revenge between man and man, and every thing of cruelty to animals, is a violation of moral duty." - The Age of Reason (part 1, 1794)

International Vegetarian Union History of Vegetarianism North America: 18th Century Thomas Jefferson U.S. statesman; secretary of state (1790-93); third president (1801-09); He was the chief drafter of the Declaration of Independence (1776), the chief opponent of the centralising policies of the Federalists under Hamilton and effected the Louisiana purchase (1803). There is no suggestion that Jefferson was vegetarian, but the following quote is of interest: "SIR,Your letter of February the 18th came to hand on the 1st instant; and the request of the history of my physical habits would have puzzled me not a little, had it not been for the model with which you accompanied it, of Doctor Rush's answer to a similar inquiry. I live so much like other people, that I might refer to ordinary life as a history of my own. Like my friend the Doctor, I have lived temperately, eating little animal food, and that not as an aliment, so much as a condiment for the vegetables, which constitute my principle diet." The above quote was taken from a letter written on March 21, 1819 to Dr. Vine Utley when Jefferson was 1 month away from his 76th birthday. The source is Jefferson Writings published by the Library of America, 1984

William L. Clements Library The University of Michigan Thomas Paine Papers Paine, Thomas Papers, 1776-1811 October 14 12 items; 0.25 lin. feet Background note: The "citizen of the world," Thomas Paine rose from a lower class Quaker home in England to become one of the most influential radical minds of the late 18th century. After working as a corset maker his father's trade and as a tax collector, Paine emigrated to Philadelphia in 1774, and quickly immersed himself in revolutionary agitation. A naturally persuasive writer, his pamphlet, Common Sense (Philadelphia, 1776), became a siren call for American independence. In eminently clear, straightforward language, it outlined an argument for the superiority of republican government over a monarchy and demanded legal and political equality for all citizens. Furthermore, Paine asserted that his argument extended beyond the narrow conditions of colonial America, envisioning an international struggle for civil and human rights. Common Sense sold as many as 150,000 copies in 1776, and within a year, had been translated into French. Although clearly articulating a revolutionary positon, Paine was not enamored of the violence spawned by the Revolution. "I joined in the defense of America," he wrote after the war, "on the ground that a Country invaded is in the condition of a house broke into, and on no other principles than this, can a reflective mind, at least such as mine, justify war to itself" (1787 September 21). Yet Paine never wavered from the radical cause, writing consistently in support of independence and, later, taking part in the movement that produced the highly democratic constitution of the state of Pennsylvania.

THOMAS PAINE PAINE, THOMAS (1737-1809), English author, was born at Thetford, Norfolk, on the 29th of January 1737, the son of a Quaker staymaker. After several years at sea and after trying various occupations on land, Paine took up his fathers trade in London, where he supplemented his meagre grammar school education by attending science lectures. He succeeded in 1762 in gaining an appointment in the excise, but was discharged for neglect of duty in 1765. Three years later, however, he received another appointment, at Lewes in Sussex. He took a vigorous share in the debates of a local Whig club, and in 1772 he wrote a pamphlet embodying the grievances of excisemen and supporting their demands for an increase of pay. In 1774 he was dismissed the service for absence without leavein order to escape his creditors. At the downfall of Robespierre Paine was restored to his seat in the convention, and served until it adjourned in October 170c. In 706 he published a long letter to Washington, attacking his military reputation and his presidential policy with inexcusable bitterness. In 1802 Paine sailed for America, but while his services in behalf of the colonies were gratefully remembered, his Age of Reason and his attack on Washington had alienated many of his friends. He died in New York on the 8th of June 1809, and was buried at New Rochelle, but his body was in. 1819 removed to England by William Cobbett. See the biography by Moncure D. Conway (I892).

Richard Gimbel Collection ca.1692-1921 (176 items, 0.75 linear feet) B P165 American Philosophical Society 105 South Fifth Street * Philadelphia, PA 19106-3386 Table of contents Abstract An important 18th century radical republican theorist and political writer, Thomas Paine was a leading figure in the American Revolution. Despite his humble beginnings and lack of formal education, his reasoned and persuasive writings not only influenced nascent American republican ideology, but profoundly affected the perception of government in England and France as well. His three most influential works are Common Sense The Rights of Man (1791-1792), and The Age of Reason The Richard Gimbel Collection is a heterogeneous mix of items connected only by the fact that they were all collected by Gimbel (1898-1970) and that most were written by, to, or about the revolutionary Paine. Of primary importance are the approximately sixty-five letters or manuscripts in Paine's own hand, including Paine's 1776 manuscript notes for Common Sense , his letter of January 10, 1781, in which he takes leave of his former commanding officer, Nathanael Greene, and his January 6, 1789 letter to Kitty Nicholson Few, in which he writes of his view of matrimony and other personal matters. The collection includes a series of correspondence between Thomas Paine and Samuel Adams, neither of whom were
