Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Paine was self-centered. He could stand alone, like a mighty rock, with seas and storms breaking upon him. Not Mirabeau, not Danton, shone with a more brilliant genius, nor towered with more rugged strength and grandeur. Paine represented the immortal part of the Revolution.... Voltaire emphasized justice, Rousseau emphasized liberty; Paine emphasized both liberty and justice." -Samuel P. Putnam FROM time immemorial men have observed the natal days of their gods and heroes. A few weeks ago Christians celebrated the birthday of a god. We come to celebrate the birthday of a man. Within the brief space of twenty-five days occur the anniversaries of the births of the three most remarkable men that have appeared on this continent--Paine, Washington and Lincoln--the Creator, the Defender and the Savior of our Republic. To do honor to the memory of the first of these--to acknowledge our indebtedness to him as a patriot and philosopher, and to extol his virtues as a man--have we assembled here. We come the more willingly and our exercises will be characterized by a deeper earnestness because the one whose merits we celebrate has been the victim of almost infinite injustice. In the popular mind to utter a word in his behalf has been to apologize for wrong--to declare yourself the friend of Paine has been to declare yourself the enemy of man. The world is not prepared to do him full justice yet. Priestcraft, still powerful, uses all its power to prejudice the public mind against him and in too many hearts, where love and gratitude should dwell, ingratitude and hatred have their home. There are those who will condemn this meeting in his name today and some of you may spurn the blossoms I have culled to place upon his tomb. But is it a crime to defend the dead? Has the court of Death issued an injunction restraining us from pleading the cause of the departed? We defend from the assaults of calumny the fair fame of the living, and not more sacred are the reputations of the living than of the absent dead whose voiceless lips can utter no defense. The lips of Thomas Paine have long been dumb; but mine are not, and while I live I shall defend him. As Rizpah stood by the bodies of her murdered sons, keeping back the birds of prey, so will I stand by the memory of this good man and drive back the foul vultures that feast their greedy selves and feed their starving broods on dead men's characters.

Book excerpt: BECAUSE of this one work, Thomas Paine's legacy has become, instead of that of one of the most celebrated, to that of one of the most infamous of the important figures of the American Revolution. In the minds of John Adams and many others, his THE AMERICAN CRISIS and COMMON SENSE were as important to American independence as the victories on the battlefield. But after the English-language publication of THE AGE OF REASON-written for a French audience-Paine was unjustly branded an atheist and unworthy of public praise. In fact, Thomas Paine was (as were other important revolutionary heroes) a deist; he believed in a supreme creator but took his proof from nature and reason. In the spirit of the French revolt against oppression from an aristocracy wholly supported by the established church, he chose to apply the test of reason to the prevailing interpretations of the Bible and to the authorship of the Scriptures. Paine's legacy is certainly less tarnished in modern times, but his work, including this one, needs to be read. Paine was a man of humble origin, but he was possessed of a brilliant mind; he was a first-rate scholar and a champion of reason and justice. On Thomas Paine and THE AGE OF REASON...."A religion which will incite its followers, with virtual unanimity, to pursue with malignant hatred and to blacken with all the refinements of insatiable malice the memory of a distinguished benefactor of the human race, on the sole ground of his renunciation of certain theological dogmas, is undeniably the embodiment of a spirit hostile to intellectual liberty and human progress." - James F. Morton, Jr., (as quoted in THOMAS PAINE, THE APOSTLE OF LIBERTY, by John E. Remsburg)He had dug under the throne, and it occurred to him that he would take a look behind the altar. The result of this investigation was given to the world in the "Age of Reason." From the moment of its publication he became infamous. He was calumniated beyond measure. To slander him was to secure the thanks of the church. All his services were instantly forgotten, disparaged, or denied. He was shunned as though he had been a pestilence. Most of his old friends forsook him. He was regarded as a moral plague, and at the bare mention of his name the bloody hands of the church were raised in horror. - "Thomas Paine," LECTURES OF COL. R. G. INGERSOLLSo far we have only had the Republican Paine, the outlaw Paine; the atheist Paine has not appeared. He did so in the AGE OF REASON, first published in 1794-1795. The object of this book was religious. Paine was a vehement believer in God and in the Divine government of the world, but he was not, to put it mildly, a Bible Christian. - "Thomas Paine," IN THE NAME OF THE BODLEIAN AND OTHER ESSAYS, by Augustine Birrell
Download or read book Thomas Paine written by Jack Fruchtman, Jr. and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 1994-11-01 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Paine (1737-1809), the man who gave the name to the United States, became known as the Voice of the Revolution. Paine was one of the most radical and outspoken figures of the eighteenth century - an independent thinker on a level with Voltaire and Goethe. The self-educated former tax collector was famed for his fiery disposition and brilliant way with words in defense of liberty. A cabin boy on board a privateer, twice married, first an official and later a victim of the French revolutionary government, at odds with his fellow American rebels, and constantly beset by money problems, Paine lived a full and exciting life. In addition to his better known accomplishments, he designed bridges, a "smokeless candle" and a detailed plan for the invasion of Britain - and all this from a man who abruptly turned from being a craftsman to a statesman at the age of thirty-seven. Together with his colleagues Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, Paine provided the philosophical underpinnings for the new nation. He is best known for his radical works The Age of Reason, Rights of Man, and, above all, Common Sense.
