Early edition of this polemical pamphlet described by Howes as essentially part three to "Rights of Man." Indeed, much of the text here is devoted to describing and defending the publication of the first and second parts of that hugely influential tract. This title published by Thomas Clio Rickman (1761-1834), with whom Paine lodged while composing "Rights of Man." Both men eventually fled to France to evade imprisonment (see Rickman's entry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography). This work was also published by Symonds and Rickman in a 12mo format of 40 pages, which Howes lists as the first edition.
HOWES P28, listing this as the second edition.
