Description: 1925 Thomas Paine Life & Work Thomas EDISON Patriot edition Common Sense 10v SET Whatever is my right as a man is also the right of another. ¬ Thomas Paine, Rights of Man Thomas Paines political activism in the late 18th-century was vitally important to many of the successes of the American Revolution. He was responsible for some of the most important propaganda pamphlets at the start of the war which inspired American rebels in 1776. Common Sense alone is considered the all-time best American pamphlet, in fact, John Adams is known to have said without the pen of the author of Common sense, the sword of Washington would have been raised in vain. In 1925, an impressive printing of the life and works of Paine was published in New Rochelle, New York. Notably, this edition was edited by famed scientist Thomas Edison.

Description: Thomas Paine, The Life and Works of Thomas Paine, N.Y.: Thomas Paine National Historical Association (Patriots Edition, 1925). Ten volumes. This set of the fruits of Thomas Paine s pen features a front plate proclaiming that it was printed for Paul Maas (1880 1964) who was a German scholar. Maas, along with Karl Lachmann, founded the field of textual criticism, which is used to reconstruct ancient texts and ascertain how the original text likely read. Maas used this approach on the works of William Shakespeare and others. A student of classical philology, Maas received his doctorate in 1903, and in 1920 became a full professor at Berlin. In 1930 he was appointed chair of classical philology at the University of Königsberg. In 1934 he was forced into retirement by the Nazi government due to his Jewish ancestry, and in 1939 he emigrated to Great Britain, where he taught classes at Oxford University. After his death, he was buried at Wolvercote Cemetery's Jewish section in Oxford. (Wikipedia.) 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 is a biography of Paine written by William M. Van der Weyde with an introduction by Thomas A. Edison. The other nine volumes consists of Paine numerous works and concludes with his poetry and an index. The bindings and their red labels show some wear, but otherwise all volumes are in fine condition, appearing to have never been read or even opened.
