The Age Of Reason The Age Of Reason THE AGE OF REASON IN the opening year, 1793, when revolutionary France had beheaded its king, the wrath turned next upon the King of kings, by whose grace every tyrant claimed to reign. But eventualities had brought among them a great English and American heart -- Thomas Paine. He had pleaded for Louis Caper -- "Kill the king but spare the man." Now he pleaded, -- "Disbelieve in the King of kings, but do not confuse with that idol the Father of Mankind!" In Paine's Preface to the Second Part of "The Age of Reason" he describes himself as writing the First Part near the close of the year 1793. "I had not finished it more than six hours, in the state it has since appeared, before a guard came about three in the morning, with an order signed by the two Committees of Public Safety and Surety General, for putting me in arrestation." This was on the morning of December 28. But it is necessary to weigh the words just quoted -- "in the state it has since appeared." For on August 5, 1794, Francois Lanthenas, in an appeal for Paine's liberation, wrote as follows: "I deliver to Merlin de Thionville paine, reason, age, mr, part, williams, one, now, letter, america, new, london, been, years, while, sold, society, sent, paine's, manuscript, friend, england, yet, works, work, return, prison, persecution, led, erskine, edition, book, before, bache, about, york Word Count: 6869 Acceptance_Essays American_History Anatomy_&_Physiology Animal_Science_&_Zoology Anthropology Architecture Art Astronomy Aviation Biographies Book_Reports Business Computers Creative_Writing Current_Events Economics Education Engineering English Environmental_Science Ethics European_History Film_&_TV Foreign_Languages Geography Government_&_Politics Health_&_Beauty History_Other Human_Sexuality Legal_Issues Marketing Mathematics Medicine Miscellaneous Music Mythology Philosophy Physics Poetry Political_Science Psychology Religion Science Shakespeare Social_Issues Sociology Speech Sports_&_Recreation Supernatural Technology Theater Theses_&_Dissertations
