Sobre este artículo
London: Printed for J. Ridgway, 1791. 1791 London edition of Paine's passionate reply to the Abbe Raynal, preceded by the 1782 Philadelphia and London editions Octavo, bound in half diced calf over marbled boards, all edges speckled red. In very good condition. Bookplate to the pastedown. Ownership name to the title page. Rare. Raynal's Revolution of America elicited a response from Thomas Paine, who "objected to Raynal's claims that the war arose entirely from a dispute over taxation and that peace efforts had been hampered by the Americans' alliance with France. His Letter...is an exemplary piece of diplomacy" (DNB).
