Common Sense

''It is not in numbers, but in unity, that our great strength lies...''

In his provocative pamphlet, Thomas Paine urged the Thirteen Colonies to break free from British rule. This revolutionary work marked the birth of a new and powerful nation. The English-born Paine combined effective political and ethical reasoning to create a polemic of unrivalled influence.

Paine''s compelling and persuasive writing style has ensured that Common Sense is now regarded as an historical and literary classic.
