The American Revolution 3 Vol. Set The Library of America w/Slipcase New The American Revolution 2001 1st Printing The American Revolution Pamphlet Debate 1764-1772 1st Printing 2015 The American Revolution Pamphlet Debate 1773-1776 1st Printing 2015 The pamphlets gathered in this second volume of a two-volume set were written both by Americans and Britons, though such distinctions can be misleading in light of the increasingly interconnected character of the empire in this period. Englishman Thomas Paine had been resident in the colonies for only fourteen months when he wrote Common Sense, the most influential expression of the “American” position during the debate, while Massachusetts governor Thomas Hutchinson, who in two pamphlets articulates the “British” position as forcefully as any writer collected here, had deep ancestral roots in the colonies.#theamericanrevolution#commonsense#TheLibraryofAmerica#vintagebooks#bookstore
