Publisher's Synopsis
The Genuine Trial of Thomas Paine for a Libel Contained in the Second Part of Rights of Man (1792) is a historical book that recounts the infamous trial of Thomas Paine, a prominent political activist and writer, for publishing a controversial pamphlet that was deemed libelous by the British government. The book provides a detailed account of the trial proceedings, including the arguments made by both the prosecution and defense, as well as the verdict and subsequent fallout from the trial. Throughout the book, readers are given insight into the political climate of the time, including the tensions between Britain and France, and the growing divide between those who supported radical political reform and those who opposed it. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of political activism and free speech, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the life and work of one of the most influential thinkers of the 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
