    The Age of George III
    Thomas Paine (1737-1809)
    Thomas Paine was born on 29 January 1737 at Thetford, Norfolk. Hewas the son of Joseph Paine, by his wife Frances (Cocke). The father was a freeman of Thetford, a staymaker, and a small farmer. He was a member of the Society of Friends , who had a small meeting-house at Thetford. The mother belonged to the Church of England Rights of Man Terrible , commanded by Captain Death, but was brought back by his father's remonstrances. He afterwards, however, went to sea in the King of Prussia. War with France was declared 28 May 1756, and the Terrible was taken in action 28 December Paine must therefore have been nineteen at the time of these adventures. He soon returned to staymaking. He worked for two years in London, and (at this period or in 1766-7) showed his scientific taste by buying a pair of globes and attending the lectures of the self-taught men of science, Benjamin Martin and James Ferguson (1710-1776). He also became known to the astronomer John Bevis. In 1758 he moved to Dover, and in April 1759 set up as a staymaker at Sandwich. On 17 September 1759 he married Mary Lambert. His business was unsuccessful, and he moved to Margate, where his wife died in 1760. Rickman describes him as a strong Whig Pennsylvania Magazine or American Museum against slavery . Rush claims to have suggested Paine's next performance. The first blood of the American war was shed in the skirmish at Lexington on 19 April 1775, and Paine resolved to express the sentiment, which had long been growing up, though hitherto not avowed, in favour of independence of the colonies. Paine had already spoken out in a letter to the

    Thomas Paine (1737-1809)
    Contributing Editor: Martin Roth
    Major Themes, Historical Perspectives, and Personal Issues
    Nature and Reason are not abstract principles for Paine. They are not categories through which it is useful to think about things, but dynamic principles that Paine almost literally sees at work in the world. Reason in Common Sense is masculine, a most concrete actor pleading with us to separate from England or forbidding us to have faith in our enemies. Nature is feminine; "she" weeps, and she is unforgiving as part of her deepest nature. Should these agencies be regarded as philosophical principles? As deities? Are they coherent characters? Can they be identified by collecting all their behaviors and their metaphoric qualifications? How do we think about Paine as an author, a writing "I"? One of his works is presented as having been written by an embodied principle of "common sense," and another piece, The Age of Reason , a work on the general truth of religion, opens in an extremely private, confessional mode. But he writes in this way to prove that he could have no private motives for misleading others. What kind of stakes are being waged by writing a work on religious truth just before you die? Is there any distinction for Paine between the private and the public I, the private and the public life? Notice how many statements fold back upon the self: "it is necessary to the happiness of man that he be mentally faithful to himself" and "my own mind is my own church."

    Thomas Paine (1737-1809)
    • Paine was originally from England, from a poor family. He tried several jobs, including the family business of corsetmaking, as well as schoolmaster, preacher, and customs inspector. He was dismissed from this last job on a trumped-up charge of smuggling, after he wrote a pamphlet, The Case of the Officers of Excise; with Remarks on the Qualification of Officers, and on the numerous Evils arising to the Revenue, from the Insufficiency of the present Salary, humbly addressed to the Members of both Houses of Parliament . Shortly after this his wife left him. He was a religious man, and was originally a Quaker. He described himself as a "Deist." He met Benjamin Franklin in London, and emigrated to America in 1774. There he worked as a journalist. He was the editor of Pennsylvania Magazine for 18 months, published in Philadelphia. In 1776, he published Common Sense , a pamphlet calling for independence of America from Britain. It sold over 100,000 copies.

    Thomas Paine
    American political pamphleteer born in England. His works include the pamphlets Common Sense (1776) and Crisis (1776-83), supporting the American colonists fight for independence. The Rights of Man (1791-92), a justification of the French Revolution; and The Age of Reason (1194-96) a defence of Deism. Note: there is no evidence that Paine was vegetarian, but his thinking was very influential on those who followed. Quote: The moral duty of man consists of imitating the moral goodness and benificence of God manifested in the creation towards all his creatures. Everything of persecution and revenge between man and man, and everything of cruelty to animals is a violation of moral duty. - The Age of Reason A poem: CRUELTY TO ANIMALS EXPOSED Occasioned by a real circumstance A Pale and wrinkled wretch I saw one day,
    Whom pale disease had wither'd half away,

    Thomas Jefferson
    U.S. statesman; secretary of state (1790-93); third president (1801-09); He was the chief drafter of the Declaration of Independence (1776), the chief opponent of the centralising policies of the Federalists under Hamilton and effected the Louisiana purchase (1803). There is no suggestion that Jefferson was vegetarian, but the following quote is of interest: "SIR,Your letter of February the 18th came to hand on the 1st instant; and the request of the history of my physical habits would have puzzled me not a little, had it not been for the model with which you accompanied it, of Doctor Rush's answer to a similar inquiry. I live so much like other people, that I might refer to ordinary life as a history of my own. Like my friend the Doctor, I have lived temperately, eating little animal food, and that not as an aliment, so much as a condiment for the vegetables, which constitute my principle diet."
    The above quote was taken from a letter written on March 21, 1819 to Dr. Vine Utley when Jefferson was 1 month away from his 76th birthday. The source is Jefferson Writings published by the Library of America, 1984

    PAINE, THOMAS
    , political philosopher and writer. "I know not whether any man in the world has had more influence on its inhabitants or affairs for the last thirty years than Tom Paine." So wrote John Adams in 1805. In an age of political pamphleteering, Paine had become the most influential pamphleteer of all. His writings remain classic statements of the egalitarian, democratic faith of the Age of Revolution. Paine's origins lay among the lower orders of eighteenth-century England. The son of a Quaker corset maker, he practiced his father's trade and then worked as an excise tax collector. His father's religion undoubtedly influenced Paine's humanitarianism, and a strong interest in Newtonian science helped him develop a hatred for governments that rested on hereditary privilege. Paine immigrated to Philadelphia in 1774 and soon became acquainted with advocates of political change. In January 1776, he published Common Sense
