Thomas Paine. The Life and Works of Thomas Paine. Vincent Parke & Co., 1908.

Price: US$1800.00 + shipping

Condition: Near Fine

Description: Thomas Paine, The Life and Works of Thomas Paine, N.Y.: Vincent Parke & Co. (Independence Edition, 1908). Ten volumes. No 347 of 500 copies. This set of the fruits of Thomas Paine s pen features a front plate proclaiming that it is a special de luxe Independence Edition of the Centenary Issue and bears the editor s (Daniel Edwin Wheeler) signature and an embossed seal. The paper is thick and untrimmed on the side and bottom, giving the ten volumes an 18th century look and feel. Inside the front cover of the first volume the following is written in pencil, John F. Devine 113 North Shore Drive South Bend, Ind. Finished reading this volume Sunday p.m. March 14th 1915 . The print is generous, and the pages are in like new condition. Thomas Paine, the son of a corset-maker trained to take-up that occupation, left school when he was twelve. During the first 38 years of his life, Paine went from job to job and engaged in a few exploits. He ran off as a teen to be a pirate but was apprehended by his Quaker father.* Paine later fulfilled that ambition by serving briefly on a privateer vessel when he was 19. He wrote a petition seeking higher wages for English excisemen (read: tax collectors) arguing that more money would make them more diligent and more honest. During his first year in Philadelphia, he wrote for the Pennsylvania Magazine, and he and another worked out a formula for home-made saltpeter which was needed as an ingredient of gunpowder. A full-fledged colonial rebellion was becoming possible. On January 10, 1776, a month before he turned 39, Paine exploded onto the transatlantic stage as the foremost advocate of obtaining liberty for the colonies by fighting the British. Paine himself commented that any literary talent he might have had was buried in me and might ever have continued so, had not the necessity of the times dragged and driven him to write. (The Crisis, No. VIII, ¶6.) Historians credit Paine s 1776 publication of Common Sense, which he allowed others to reprint, with galvanizing public opinion for independence which led to the Declaration of Independence, the Revolutionary War, and the United States becoming an independent non-monarchical nation. Paine s importance to the cause was cemented by the first issue of The Crisis which George Washington had read aloud to the army he commanded. Without Paine s pen, the war might well have been lost almost as soon as it began. The first volume features the biography of Paine written by Clio Rickman with whom Paine corresponded and who according to a letter from Politicus in the November 1811 issue of Universal Magazine was well known, on various accounts, to be more thoroughly qualified for that task than any other person in the country. (At p. xvii.) The other nine volumes consists of Paine numerous works and concludes with his poetry and an index. The bindings small glued on paper labels show some wear and an inner binding is cracked, otherwise all ten volumes are in near fine condition.

Paine Thomas. Life and Writings of Thomas Paine (10 volumes).. Vincent Parke & Company, 1908.

Price: US$10000.00 + shipping

Condition: Very Good

Description: On the limitation page it is written: "Of this Special Deluxe Independence Edition of the Centenary Issue of the writings of Thomas Paine there have been printed five hundred numbered copies of which this is Number 20." It is signed by the editor, Daniel Edwin Wheeler. 10 volumes, very good condition. Many of the pages have not been cut and silk ties are still intact. You may want to know why I charge so much for my books. The answer is quite simple. In 1971 gold was $35.00 per ounce. Today it is $1928.90 per ounce. Imagine it was 1971 today. Which would you rather have in 1971? An ounce of gold or $35.00? Gold has increased about 5408%. The dollar has lost about 98% of its value.
