About this Item

Third edition, 8vo, 16 pp. Recent red quarter calf, marbled sides. A scarce copy of Paine's first work, agitating for higher wages for himself and his fellow excise-men. Despite lobbying many M.P.'s the campaign was not a success, and Paine returned to Lewes to find himself dismissed, officially for deserting his post. The failure set him on the path that would see him take ship to America the following year. Gimbel p44. Preceded only by the Lewes first edition of 1772 and a Jordan edition from 1793.
