THE RIGHTS
OF MAN

A Political Pamphlet by Thomas Paine

Published in 1791

Thomas Paine
From an engraving by W. Sharp. Published February, 1794, London


The Rights of Man: Being an Answer to Mr. Burke's Attack on the French Revolution....Third Edition. Boston: I. Thomas and E.T. Andrews, 1791. The edition runs 79 pages. It has marginal browning but is in very good condition.

This is the first edition printed in Boston (the third American edition). The Rights of Man was published in two parts. This edition-- Part The First-- was printed in 1791 and dedicated to George Washington. The second part, entitled Part The Second, followed in 1792. The front of this edition contains an extract of a letter from Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson: "I am extremely pleased to find this will be reprinted, and that something is at length to be publicly said against the political heresies which have sprung up against us." This was a direct slap at the Vice-president John Adams.
