The Age of Paine
Thomas Paine was one of the first journalists to use media as a weapon againstthe entrenched power structure. He should be resurrected as the moral father of the Internet. Jon Katz explains why.

By Jon Katz If any father has been forsaken by his children, it is Thomas Paine. Statues of the man should greet incoming journalism students; his words should be chiseled above newsroom doors and taped to laptops, guiding the communications media through their many travails, controversies, and challenges. Yet Paine, a fuzzy historical figure of the 1700s, is remembered mostly for one or two sparkling patriotic quotes - "These are the times that try men's souls" - and little else. Thomas Paine, professional revolutionary, was one of the first to use media as a powerful weapon against an entrenched array of monarchies, feudal lords, dictators, and repressive social structures. He invented contemporary political journalism, creating almost by himself a mass reading-public aware for the first time of its right to encounter controversial opinions and to participate in politics. Between his birth in 1737 and his death in 1809, enormous political upheavals turned the Western world upside down - and Paine was in the middle of the biggest ones. His writings put his life at risk in every country he lived in - in America for rebellion, in England for sedition, in France for his insistence on a merciful and democratic revolution. At the end of his life, he was shunned by the country he helped create, reviled as an infidel, forced to beg friends for money, denied the right to vote, refused burial in a Quaker cemetery. His grave was desecrated, his remains were stolen.

    Paine, Thomas Paine, Thomas, , Anglo-American political theorist and writer, b. Thetford, Norfolk, England. He was the son of a Quaker. An excise officer, he was dismissed from the service after leading (1772) agitation for higher salaries. Paine emigrated to America in 1774, bearing letters of introduction from Benjamin Franklin, who was then in England. He soon became involved in the clashes between England and the American colonies and published the enormously successful pamphlet Common Sense (Jan., 1776), in which he argued that the colonies had outgrown any need for English domination and should be given independence. In Dec., 1776, Paine wrote the first of a series of 16 pamphlets called The Crisis The Rights of Man (2 parts, 1791 and 1792), which defended the French Revolution in reply to Edmund Burke's

Local History Scrapbook:
Thomas Paine 1737 - 1809 Born in Thetford, Suffolk, England, Thomas Paine moved to Sandwich in 1759. He lived in a small house in New Street, where he practiced his trade as a master stay-maker. He married a local girl, Mary Lambert. She was an 'Orphan of Sandwich' meaning she had no money or relatives to provide for her, and had to depend on the local government for assistance. She died after a few months of marriage. Mary's father had been an excise man, Paine moved to Grantham in Lincolnshire to take up this profession. Eventually he was dismissed from this post and moved to London where he became a teacher. In 1768 he became an excise officer again and settled in Lewes, Sussex. Here he wrote a pamphlet calling for an increase in wages and lost his job as a result. His activities caught the attention of Benjamin Franklin. Paine went on to produce a series of books and pamphlets, the most famous being, The Rights of Man, and, in one of his pamphlets, he was the first to coin the phrase, 'The United State of America'. He travelled between England, France, and America and played a prominent role in both the French and American revolutions, but was eventually outlawed by the British government for his views on religion and the monarchy. He spent some time in jail in France for opposing the execution of the King. Finally, he settled on his farm in New Rochelle, New York State, America, where he died an American Citizen, in 1809.

PAINE’S FOOTNOTE ON THE TRANSIT OF VENUS
by
Robert J. Havlik, Emeritus Librarian
University of Notre Dame
Thomas Paine ( 1737 -1809) was an English born, American political figure, philosopher and author of FOOTNOTE ON THE TRANSIT OF VENUS. The works of Thomas Paine are said to have influenced many of the founders of the United States. Paine's The Age of Reason: Being an Investigation of True and False Theology , 1794-96, was the results of Paine’s years of study and reflection on the place of religion in society. It was very popular and controversial in its time. It also touches on Paine’s interest in science and astronomy. The work is still in print. The excerpt below is part of Paine’s introduction to his theories on the plurality of worlds. In it he describes the planetary system, as known at the time, in terms of Kepler’s Laws. He then uses the observation of the Transit of Venus as a practical application of the laws. The footnote is presented here in BOLD for emphasis.

Thomas Paine
Thomas Paine was born in Thetford, Englad, in 1737, the son of a staymaker. He had little schooling and worked at a number of jobs, including tax collector, a position he lost for agitating for an increase in excisemen's pay. Persuaded by Benjamin Franklin, he emigrated to America in 1774. In 1776 he began his American Crisis series of thirteen pamphlets, and also published the incalculably influential Common Sense , which established Paine not only as a truly revolutionary thinker, but as the American Revolution's fiercest political theorist. In 1787 Paine returned to Europe, where he became involved in revolutionary politics. In England his books were burned by the public hangman. Escaping to France, Paine took park in drafting the French constitution and voted against the king's execution. He was imprisoned for a year and narrowly missed execution himself. In 1802 he returned to America and lived in New York State, poor, ill, and largely despised for his extremism and so-called atheism (he was in fact a deist). Thomas Paine died in 1809. His body was exhumed by William Cobbert, and the remains were taken to England for a memorial burial. Unfortunately, Cobbett was forbidden to bury Paine in English soil and the remains were subsequently lost. Penguine Classics, The Thomas Paine Reader

Thomas Paine
The principle of an equality of rights is clear and simple. Every man can understand it, and it is by understanding his rights that he learns his duties; for where the rights of man are equal, every man must, finally, see the necessity of protecting the rights of others, as the most effectual security for his own. Thomas Paine The sublime and the ridiculous are often so nearly related, that it is difficult to class them separately. Thomas Paine These are the times that try men's souls. Thomas Paine Thomas Paine, (1737–1809), English political philosopher, whose pamphlet Common Sense greatly influenced public opinion during the American Revolution and The Rights of Man , seen as the foundation of modern democracy, was the driving force of the Atlantic-Democratic Revolution of the late 18th century. He personified the political currents that linked American independence, the French Revolution and British radicalism. He was to die a pauper, alone and forgotten. Born 29 January 1737, in Thetford , Norfolk, England, son of a corseter, he had failed school by the age of 12. The young Paine began an apprenticeship with his father, but again, he failed. Now, age 19, Paine went to sea. This adventure didn't last too long, and by 1768 he found himself as an excise officer in England. He didn't exactly excel at the role, getting discharged from his post twice in four years, the final straw was the publication of

... Writer
  • THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.
    • The American Crisis, December 19, 1776 A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue, but moderation in principle is always a vice.
      • The Rights of Man, 1792
