The Writings of Thomas Paine, Vol. 1 of 4 Vols.

THE WRITINGS OF THOMAS PAINE, Vol. 1 of 4 Vols., by Moncure Daniel Conway. The writings of Thomas Paine, this genius who could write the English languish so his meaning was clear to all, did more to make "The United States of America" the United States of America, yet he is almost left out of our History books, and out of our schools. In fact it was Thomas Paine who first wrote those enchanting words; The United States of America. But Mr. Paine's fame is not only what he did for the U. S. of A., His writings and his ideas was an important part of the Enlightenment, that small period of History that produced not only the United States, but the French Revolution - that went astray when the party of Maximilien de Robespierre gained power and sought to eliminate their political, and other, enemies by use of the Guillotine. Robespierre was a Deist, if not a Theist, and established by law the 'Worship of the Supreme Being' and many of the great Atheists of the French Revolution was Guillotined - but now our New History books tell us the Atheists were behind the Terror! This set of Paine's Writings will amaze you with the breath of his ideas and accomplishments. For the facts of the French Revolution and the Terror, and all the rest, you will have to read History books published before 1900.
