Heading:
Author: Burke, Edmund & Thomas Paine
Title: Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France / The Rights of Man
Place Published: London
Publisher:J. Dodsley [and] J.S. Jordan
Date Published: 1790-91
Description:

Edmund Burke's iconic conservative attack on the French Revolution bound together with Thomas Paine's legendary two part rebuttal 'The Rights of Man'. Paine's response was one of the first to effectively puncture Burke's position and its publication caused a furor in England; Paine was tried in absentia, and convicted of seditious libel against the Crown, but was unavailable for hanging, being in France and never returning to England.

Condition
Light wear and a few areas of staining to leather, spine label mostly lacking, rubbing to extremities with a bit of scuffing to spine; offsetting to endpaper edges; very good.
