Abstract

Letters from Thomas Hardy to Thomas Paine
Colby, Elbiridge | May 18, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

When American patriot and writer Thomas Paine was spending his declining years in the U.S., reviled and persecuted for his attack on Washington, scorned by the staid and stately for his suspected irreligion, a British "radical," Thomas Hardy, one-time secretary of the much-maligned and unjustly suppressed London Corresponding Society, sent two letters overseas to Paine. It is unfortunate that the disrepute into which Paine had fallen should have so completely clouded the deserved renown of the man who gave to England what has been called "the Gospel of Liberty according to France and America."
